There are ways of getting around this failing of nuclear rockets. The most obvious is to take along a stock of material that can be gasified by the nuclear heat and shot out the tail at great speed. The trouble with this solution, of course, is that the weight of the material may make the nuclear rocket hardly more efficient than a chemically fueled one. In addition, a heavy shield must be carried to protect the crew from nuclear radiation...
...heat of inspiration, Vincent Van-Gogh could put in a straight eleven-hour stretch before his easel, then sit down and write: "These colors give me extraordinary exaltation. I have no thought of fatigue; I shall do another picture this very night, and I shall bring it off. I have a terrible lucidity at moments when nature is so beautiful; I am not conscious of myself any more, and the pictures come to me as in a dream...
...deep wells. Chemical muds are pumped down inside a drill pipe to the bit and then back up the hole, thus holding down subterranean oil pressures, keeping the bit cool, and carrying the drill cuttings back up to the surface. In deep holes, conventional muds jell under the intense heat and dry up at 300° F, cause expensive delays. The new muds, DMS (Drilling Mud, Surfacant) and DME (Drilling Mud, Emulsifier), which are chemically similar to automobile antifreeze, work like detergents to eliminate the drill cuttings, withstand pressures up to 20,000 Ibs. per sq. in. at temperatures...
...Packaging Machinery and Material Convention in Cleveland, the Dennison Mfg. Co. showed a new process that makes it possible to bond labels to Cellophane, is more economical than printing. Called Therimage, the bonding process is based largely on an old device of "printing by transfer." A special heat-and-pressure machine is attached to standard packaging units, then labels made of gumlike inks are fed into it. The machine's heat releases the ink from the label, presses it firmly onto the Cellophane, in a process much like fixing a decal...
...Heat-resistant electronics will be most useful at first in guided missiles, where heat is generated both internally and by air friction. In many cases, they will eliminate heavy and complicated cooling apparatus. When nuclear airplanes come into the picture, the new electronics will brave heat and radiation close to the power reactors. Only the crew will have to be cooled and shielded...
