...experts will also look at the location of the controls to determine if the pilot can handle high-G maneuvers without having his muscles pulled awry in tight turns. They will look at the angle of the seat to see how many Gs the plane itself can sustain and measure the length of the radio antennas to get the range of frequencies the pilots operate on. Fire-control experts will look at the dials and mechanisms to determine what range the pilot must have to lock on to a target. The squad will be probing the electronic-countermeasure capability...
...snaps back to its original size, like an uncoiling spring, and exerts a sharp downward force on tendons connected to the upper part of the hind legs. That launches the flea into the air. In fact, lift-off occurs so rapidly that the flea reaches peak acceleration of 140 Gs - more than 30 times that endured by astronauts during the launch of the Saturn 5 moon rocket...
...partial vacuum, which tends to concentrate the blood in the lower part of the body and to create the effects of gravity on astronauts who have just returned to earth. The bed rest was also followed by placing the women in a centrifuge and whirling them at three Gs for as long as they could endure it; that simulated reentry. They also rode bicycle trainers as long as possible to determine their oxygen intake. The results of the tests have shown NASA that women can make space flights. Encouraged by this success, the doctors plan to broaden their program...
...dictatorship, here in the end what does the one ethnic do? Greek immigrant, son of a Greek immigrant, he takes two cases of asparagus off a Food Fare guy and a couple thousand dollars in bills (which I am absolutely sure had to have big marks all over them, Gs and red letters and all that stuff). He went the way of the ethnics: he took cash...
...guide runs from James Abourezk, (Ab-urr-esk), Democratic Senator from South Dakota, to John Zwach (rhymes with clock), Republican Rep resentative from Minnesota. In between are Schneebeli (Shnay-ble), Republican Representative from Pennsylvania, and Kluczynski (Kloo-chin-skee), Dem ocratic Representative from Illinois. Especially rich-sounding are the Gs in the House. Among them: Gaydos (Gay-duss), Pennsylvania Democrat; Giaimo (Gy-moe), Connecticut Democrat; Gubser (Goob-ser), Republican from California; and Gude (Goo-dee), Republican from Maryland. The only of fice that has remained impervious to the phonetic assault is, of course, the presidency itself. But Spiro Agnew...
