When astronauts eventually soar be yond the moon to explore the distant planets, they will find Jupiter a dangerous place to visit.

Before the first H-bomb was exploded, there were only a few pounds of tritium-a triple-weight, radioactive form of hydrogen-in the atmosphere and in all the world's seas. By the end of 1962, when the Russians and the U.S. had ended their atmospheric testing, the tritium released by H-blasts had increased the total to about 600 Ibs. The proliferation of the relatively harmless isotope has been of little concern to most laymen and scientists, but it has enabled University of Miami Chemist Gote Ostlund to draw an important conclusion about hurricanes: instead of getting...
...speed of 3,500 m.p.h. The scramjet would then accelerate under its own power to a speed of 15,000 m.p.h. and soar to a height of about 180,000 ft., beyond which there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support combustion. At that altitude, a small hydrogen rocket motor would be used to kick the scramjet out of the atmosphere and into orbit...
