Scientists in this country have often speculated that extraterrestrial beings might try to communicate with other worlds by simple patterns of powerful radio waves. Edward M. Purcell, Gerhard Gade University Professor, won the 1959 Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery that atomic hydrogen in space radiates signals, allowing scientists to pinpoint the location of the transmitting body. Lilley speculated that Russian astronomers applied Purcell's discovery to their own observations and reasoned that intelligent beings in space with knowledge of radio transmission techniques were trying to tell others of their existence...
...Labrador in 1931, in explore the interior and the coastline. Flying his own seaplane, he mapped the entire area, and his work was used to lay out a northern air route to Europe during World War II. The U.S. government employed him to take serial photographs of the first hydrogen bomb test on Bekiui Atoll...
...electronic mechanisms that will control the bird. Capsule specialists poise their instrument-packed pod atop the rocket to check it out. If all goes well, fuel specialists attach the plumbing that will fill the projectile's maw with explosive cargoes of liquid oxygen and kerosene, or intractable liquid hydrogen...
...toss a dummy Surveyor (soft-landing vehicle) to the moon's orbit, climbed only a few feet before a valve misfunctioned and the rocket fell back on its pad. Thin-walled fuel tanks ruptured, and more than 100 tons of liquid oxygen and kerosene burst into flames. The hydrogen-burning second stage added tons of liquid hydrogen to the holocaust. The 120-man launching crew dared not emerge from their dugout for 21 hours...
Other fuel cells already in operation combine pure hydrogen and oxygen to form water. In the process the hydrogen gives up electrons that flow out of the cell as electric current. But hydrogen is a touchy, expensive fuel, and since it is a very light gas, only small amounts can be stored in large, un wieldy pressure tanks. The Esso cell burns familiar methanol (wood alcohol) and gets its oxygen free, out of ordinary...
