...their daily calories in fats now get 40% or more in that form; Keys recommends a cutback to between 25% and 30%. More important, only about half of this fat should be saturated (the chemists' way of saying that the available carbon atoms in the molecule all have hydrogen atoms attached), and the rest unsaturated...
...Horne emphasized, "Of course this bomb was a peanut compared to today's hydrogen bombs, and because it was exploded 2000 feet above the ground its permanent radioactivity was relatively small." He added, "Ever since I saw the ruins of Nagasaki I have been convinced that the only answer to the bomb is a United Nations which can settle disputes by law and which has a police force to back up its decisions...
...Vega and Centaur, both based on Atlas, but with two additional stages. Vega has a section of the Vanguard for its second stage. Centaur's second stage will burn hydrogen, whose high energy, according to NASA's Dr. Abe Silverstein, "will greatly increase our capability to send a mission to Mars and Venus." ¶ Most advanced project in the works: a five-stage job with a 6,000,000-lb. thrust first stage, which will be capable of carrying a man to the moon and bringing him back. In combination with a nuclear-powered upper-stage rocket...
Newest notion is to use magnet coils cooled by liquid hydrogen to 10° or 20° above absolute zero ( - 459.6° F.). At this temperature the conductivity of metals is enormously increased. Supercold coils carrying monstrous currents might produce magnetic fields strong enough...
...will shower thickly through the coils as soon as a fusion reaction starts up inside. They will contribute more heat, and they may do worse. Neutrons often change a metal's structure in such a way that its electrical resistance increases. If this should happen suddenly to a hydrogen-cooled coil while a monstrous current is flowing through it, much of the apparatus is apt to vaporize on the spot...
