...wife and mother, I'm thrilled with "easy on, easy off" bread wrappers, ecstatic over the tornado in my liquid cleaner and speechless every time the giant jumps out of my washer...
...Centaur was the largest U.S. satellite orbited to date. By proving that hydrogen engines would burn in space, Centaur showed that the U.S. space effort is on a sound propulsive track. The multistage Saturn boosters that will sling U.S. astronauts to the moon will also burn liquid hydrogen in their upper stages...
...thrust with its two restartable Pratt & Whitney engines. The hydrogen fuel they burn has been the key-and the curse-of the Centaur system from the time it was born on engineers' drawing boards. As early as 1909, U.S. Rocket Pioneer Robert Goddard noted that hydrogen (in liquid form, known as LH.,) might prove to be the optimum chemical rocket fuel. Its light molecular weight, less than half that of standard liquid fuels, gives it 35% more thrust per pound. But LH2 begins to boil above -423 °F., and because it is so cold, engineers usually find...
...marriage, Yaleman Hogan helped Father-in-Law John Bolten sell his small Massachusetts plastics company, start a successful transistor plant, sell that, and then buy into a string of small businesses that range from printing to Latin American Coca-Cola franchises. Their biggest purchase, three years ago, was Lestoil liquid detergent, which was doing well then but shortly afterward was hard hit by the entrance of the giants into the field; sales sagged from $24 to $14 million. Hogan, after first losing out on an ill-advised attempt to market Lestoil nationally, has retrenched and regionalized, brought in young management...
...Years in a Capsule? To accustom the men to the rigorous confinement of the test, Medical Director Neil F. Gallagher gave them two weeks of conditioning before they switched to the liquid diet on Labor Day. Some of Diet No. 9's advantages for space flight are already apparent. The men have lost weight, but the loss seems to have been all fat; their muscle tone is still good. They have a bowel movement only every five or six days. Their mental alertness seems to have improved. Their morale is so good that several of them are talking expectantly...
