...late Albert Einstein perhaps put it most bluntly when he warned in 1950: "The hydrogen bomb appears on the public horizon as a probably attainable goal. . . .If successful, radioactive poisoning of the atmosphere, and hence annihilation of any life on earth, has been brought within the range of technical possibilities." Thermonuclear explosions in the Pacific have since shown that the goal has been attained, and that the possibilities of drastic damage to life on earth no longer remain purely technical, but now comprise one of the most frightening question-marks in world history: Can the human race survive the radiation...
...improved resolution of the 60-ft. telescope would let it see the three moons separately. When it starts to map the sky, the hydrogen clouds, which are now known only as broad blurs, will show much more detail. More knowledge of the hydrogen clouds will give astronomers a better understanding of the primeval gas that is the basic stuff of the universe...
