Computerized simulations of re-entry have uncovered potential flaws that are being corrected; Johnson's nylon heat shield has stood up well under rigorous tests at NASA's Langley Research Center. Next step: drop tests of the full-size boat in the earth's atmosphere, and then an unmanned test in space...
Harvard's opponents in the heat were Argentina and the highly-touted Canadian crew from the University of British Columbia. The Canadians, who captured the Gold Medal at the Pan-American games four years ago in Brazil, finished more than a length behind the Crimson last night...
