...alcohol container, on the right, necessitates two holes, one on top and one on the side. After you have finished drilling, solder the parts together to make the two boxes. One word of caution: because this still requires heat, the fuel box, at bottom left, must have hinged, closable cover. Otherwise, you will lose your pants on a windy...
...Trial by Heat. Since man cannot change his body quickly, he must carry with him a capsule of his earth-surface environment. This, in effect, is what the fish did; the cells in the bodies of land vertebrates, including man, are bathed in a fluid much like the thin brine of the paleozoic sea. But when man tries to carry his environment with him into the aeropause, he finds problems at each level...
...moderate altitudes (20-30 miles), one of the worst is heat. The atmosphere is fiercely cold, but an airplane or rocket must speed through it so fast that the air that strikes it becomes just as fiercely...
...erate speed and duration, refrigerating units like those used on present-day jet fighters may be enough to counteract such temperatures. For long, fast flights, something more elaborate is required. One proposal for rocket-driven craft is to use the intensely cold liquid oxygen fuel as a heat absorber...
Bottled Air. Another aeropause problem is air. Crewmen must have the kind of air they are accustomed to, and such air is hard to find in the aeropause. To compress the thin outside air to breathable density and dissipate the heat of compression would take heavy machinery, and the air so gathered might not be fit to breathe. At 100,000 ft. it contains enough ozone, formed out of oxygen by the sun's ultraviolet light, to poison crewmen. Probably the air they breathe will have to be "bottled...
