...first big glitch occurred on July 12, when a computer detected contamination in Challenger's hydrogen fuel and aborted the launch 3 sec. before takeoff. The 112-ton spacecraft blasted off 17 days later, but 5 min. 15 sec. into the flight, a monitoring device reported that one of the three main engines seemed to be heating up to a dangerous 1,950 °F. That sensor alerted the onboard computer, and for the first time in the 24-year history of the U.S. manned space, an engine was shut down in flight. But as the craft hobbled bravely heavenward...
...your most faithful Saturday night buddies are H and C (hydrogen and carbon), maybe you should consider adding THC to your speed-dial. It’s time to put all your filtrations and recrystallizations aside, because the best use of the side-arm flask has come to Harvard: the OrgoBong. An 8-step guide to chemical fame...
...public mind with war. Hiroshima had entirely changed the popular image of the unworldly professor; he had proved what he could do. By the end of the 1940s, the Soviets had their own atomic weapon, and by 1953, less than a year after the U.S., they tested their first hydrogen bomb. Once the arms race was a fact, the U.S. seemed to need its physicists as saviors and protectors. Places like Los Alamos were transformed from emergency-inspired experimental labs to permanent national institutions. People like Oppenheimer and Morrison left Los Alamos to return to their universities as soon...
...been treated by those in charge of it as a secret ever since. What are secrets to governments are mysteries to the public; no one outside of a very few people in power has ever understood how nuclear weapons are developed, or why. Suddenly there was Hiroshima, suddenly the hydrogen bomb, suddenly the MIR Vs. Yet while the machinations of the experts and professionals have remained hidden from the public, the effects of the weapons have been continually described and displayed. In the space between secret processes and demonstrated effects, the public imagination has produced works in which the ends...
Once on Mars, crew members could extract the traces of water that still exist in the atmosphere; the water could even be broken into its constituent oxygen (for breathing) and hydrogen (for fuel). Given the planet's abundant supply of carbon dioxide, greenhouse gardening should be possible during subsequent, longer stays...
