...program began in 1955, when President Eisenhower directed the Navy to adapt the Army's liquid-fuel Jupiter missile for use on surface ships. This proved impractical, but the Navy within a year had made dramatic progress toward development of its own solid-fuel Polaris missile, and had also overcome many of the technical problems of designing a nuclear-powered submarine. The two programs logically became one. Working side by side, Admirals William F. Raborn (more recently head of the CIA) and Hyman Rickover headed a team that devised a complex navigational device that could plot...
...swelling notes of an organ, then they melted to the tiniest wiry tinkle of water in a glass. I knew that I was lying on my back on the grass. I could feel the shiny blades on my neck. Bright little points glittered all down the front of the liquid man kneeling beside me. I knew at once that he was a policeman, and I thought he was performing some ritual operation on me. There was a confusion in my mind between being brought to life-forceps, navel-cords, midwives -and being put to death-ropes, axes and black masks...
This continent theory may destroy the idea that the place to look for life on Mars is in the dark regions. Because water boils at a lower temperature at lower pressures, there is little chance that water could ever exist in the liquid form in the low-pressure dark areas. In the light areas. Pollack suggested, liquid water might exist for an hour or two a day. That becomes a more likely place to look for life...
Inside the buildings, the electron beam is fired at targets such as metallic sheets or containers of liquid hydrogen. As a high-energy electron approaches the nucleus of an atom in the target, one of two things happens: it veers off in a different direction, or it actually shatters the nucleus-and the reaction often produces new and different particles that exist for only billionths of a second...
With its tank vents still spewing tiny jets of gas, the slowly accelerating SIV B was then put through a simulated engine restart. Valves at the bottom of the tank opened, allowing liquid hydrogen to flow into the combustion chamber. Clearly visible on TV, the dwindling fuel hugged the bottom of the tank, its surface calm...
