Because the moon rotates on its axis only about one-thirtieth as fast as the earth, stars move slowly across the lunar skies, making it easier to track and photograph them. Because lunar gravity is only one-sixth the earth's, structural distortions caused by the sheer weight of large telescope mirrors and their supports will be dramatically lessened. Some scientists have estimated that telescope mirrors as large as 2,000 in. in diameter (ten times the earth's largest) could be used effectively on the moon...
...Apollo 11 crew has been in full-time training since January, spending 12-hr. days often seven days a week going over and over the 294-page flight plan, rehearsing every move they will make in flight simulators, checking and re-checking the command module and lunar module. They practiced a single maneuver?the powered descent to the lunar surface?at least 150 times. Flight Surgeon Berry was seriously concerned about their grueling schedule. He feared that the men might become so tired that their resistance to disease would be dangerously low and that they would catch...
...some democratic freedoms is entirely natural, up to a point. Still, the situation makes it difficult to create a liberal opposition to Thieu's government, says Tran Van Tuyen, one of Lau's three defense laywers, and "into this vacuum the Communists may be able to move...
...chairman of Harvard's Department of Architecture, and the school quickly became the focus of young talent, including such now famous architects as Philip Johnson, Paul Rudolph, Ulrich Franzen, John Johansen and I. M. Pei. Gropius insisted that their work meet society's needs and that they move ahead alongside industry-until then largely overlooked by architects as a partner in their art. A technical innovation like the prefabricated glass-and-plastic facade, he knew, could be used as excitingly as hand-hewn marble. In this way, he prepared two generations of architects to meet the pressures...
...entranced millions of outsiders and embittered his faculty and students. Last week the result won him a dubious prize that he actively sought. By a vote of 16 to 2, the State College Board of Trustees, headed by Governor Ronald Reagan, elected Hayakawa permanent president of S.F. State-a move that almost guarantees more strife...
