...material substituted flexible steel mesh for timber, in a way that simplified the cementing process and thus allowed for vital short-cuts in reinforced concrete construction. The substance could be mass-produced at a ferro-cement factory established by Nervi in 1945. Prefabrication, a second vital innovation, allowed the builder to transport parts from a center of mass production to the building site and simplified the actual job of erecting the structure...

...human children have been treated with more cautious care. Dressed by a team of tender technicians, the little chimpanzee was togged out in spotless diaper and nylon mesh space suit, then zippered into a fitted contour couch that looked like a cradle trimmed with electronics. After two hours of fussing, Enos. the 5½-year-old chimponaut, was ready to ride the first passenger-carrying orbital flight of U.S. Project Mercury. His cradle was fitted into a Mercury capsule on the nose of an Atlas rocket...
