...crew will head for U.S. Navy test waters in the Pacific. On order, they will release a Pegasus missile from under their right wing and send it roaring up into the sky. At 31 km, more than double civil aviation altitude, a black, windowless, pilotless sliver of finned metal shaped like a flattened dart will separate from the Pegasus' nose and scream down into the ocean. NASA estimates the X-43 will reach a cruising speed of Mach 7, seven times the speed of sound, or 2 km per second, in the few moments before it hits water. By August...

The food is "chewed" by a garbage disposal before passing on to the first beaker, where it is squirted with pepsin and stirred, then on to the following beakers and treatment with pancreatin, hydrochloric...

The hut was alive with the chatter of half a dozen speed addicts, all pulling apart their Krong Tip packs and sucking in meth smoke through metal pipes. Now that the pills are gone, the fun is gone. And Bing, of course, he's long gone...
