...eight engines, Saturn seemed to rise with unnatural slowness. During the first ten seconds it climbed less than twice its own length, then it quickly gathered speed and rumbled behind a low-flying cloud. At 48 miles' altitude, the massive first-stage booster shut off and separated. The hydrogen-burning second stage took over, and it burned perfectly for eight minutes. When it was 1,300 miles downrange and 375 miles north of Antigua Island, the triumphant announcement came: Saturn had reached orbiting speed. The new satellite weighs 38,000 Ibs., and 20,000 Ibs. of it is payload...
...Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. The egghead President of the United States, one Mirkin Muffley, chirrups into the phone to the Soviet Premier: "Now, then, Dimitri, you know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the bomb? The bomb, Dimitri. The hydrogen bomb. Well now, what happened is that one of our base commanders did a silly thing. He, uh, went a little funny in the head. You know, funny. He ordered our planes to attack your country . . . Let me finish, Dimitri...
...cause of lung cancer is still unknown, but there is clinical evidence linking cancer with foreign matter in the respiratory system. Cilia are thin hairs that prevent such particles from lodging in the tract. The charcoal granules in the compartmentalised Lark filter adsorb such gases as hydrogen, cyanide, formaldehyde, acrolein, and ammonia, which interfere with this process...
...improve its design. Ohio's Mead Corp. photographs the flow of fibers in papermaking to keep a check on quality, and other rapid-fire cameras stand duty at the looms in textile mills to spot the reason for a thread break. General Dynamics located the cause of a hydrogen valve failure in the Centaur space vehicle by setting a Fairchild camera to watch it at simulated flight speeds...
...programmed 380 seconds, sent the rocket tumbling into an elliptical orbit ranging from 340 to 1,050 miles above the earth. But it was not the orbit that mattered, nor the fact that the 10,200-lb. Centaur was the largest U.S. satellite orbited to date. By proving that hydrogen engines would burn in space, Centaur showed that the U.S. space effort is on a sound propulsive track. The multistage Saturn boosters that will sling U.S. astronauts to the moon will also burn liquid hydrogen in their upper stages...
