...what the engineers had expected. Pathfinder was tilted at an angle of less than 3[degrees], plenty flat enough to allow the rover to disembark. The solar arrays were being bathed by sun and were producing all the power the spacecraft needed. That same sun, however, was providing little heat: the temperature at Ares Vallis was a crisp -64[degrees]F. But Pathfinder, built to function in that kind of killing cold, seemed unaffected. "I'm ecstatic," said flight systems manager Brian Muirhead as the stream of healthy signals poured into J.P.L. "This is way beyond our expectations...
...only place the new budget ships will visit. Last spring planetary scientists were buzzing over images returned by the Galileo space probe that provided evidence of a water ocean beneath a thin rind of ice on Jupiter's moon Europa. Where there's water, there's usually heat, and where there's water and heat, there could well be life. Sometime after 2000, NASA is hoping to launch a Europa probe that will orbit the Jovian moon at an altitude of 60 miles--about the same distance at which Apollo spacecraft used to orbit Earth's moon--photographing its surface...
...proper form of salutation in Washington.") The same informality applies to dress, which in this world--where style is set by barely socialized young computer geeks--has moved beyond the studied informality of "business casual" to truly casual. Inside the Washington Beltway, meanwhile, people still swim through swamplike summer heat and humidity wearing dark wool suits and damp white shirts, their air supply constricted by a tight Windsor knot...
...power, leading to a shipwide brownout, and the station itself was thrown into a sickening spin. At week's end Tsibliyev, fellow cosmonaut Alexander Lazutkin and astronaut Mike Foale were reduced to pitching camp in the dimly lighted areas of the station that still work, as failing systems caused heat and humidity to soar and Mir itself to list and drift. "It's as critical as it can get," said astronaut Jerry Linenger, who recently completed a four-month hitch...
Reich didn't respond to my calls about this. In his June 7 reply in Slate, he makes light of the discrepancies and Reiches Rauch. "My phone rings. 'Hello. Is this Robert Reich?'" he writes of a call from a "reporter in heat" who later snaps, "Where I come from, there are such things as journalistic ethics." A colleague of Rauch's who was within earshot swears there was no snapping and not a word about ethics. And Reich was returning Rauch's call, so no phone rang...
