...have been slowed by the fact that the liquid gases used in nonfood products have been ruled out by the Food and Drug Administration. (Compressed gases are now in use in a few food products but often lose their pressure before the food is exhausted, though recently developed compressed nitrogen shows promise of whipping the problem...
Photogenic Scuttling. Roughly half of each 30-minute installment of Sea Hunt happens underwater. Skindiving Hero Mike Nelson (Bridges) has battled the odds in the form of sharks, octopuses, moray eels, manta rays, alligators, giant sea turtles, Aqua-Lunged badmen-and "rapture of the deep" (nitrogen narcosis). The whole production crew is equally at home at sea; Ziv Producer Tors, 42, is a zealous sea hunter, and Secretary Parry holds the world's depth record for women: 209 ft. down, off Catalina...
...that it can be carried almost as an afterthought by any orbit-bound rocket. It is a balloon of plastic film .00025 in. thick, bonded to aluminum foil .0005 in. thick and packed in a doughnut-shaped container. To inflate the balloon, O'Sullivan provides a capsule of nitrogen gas at 2,000 Ibs. pressure per square inch. The whole apparatus weighs only...
Sphere of Nothing. When the rocket reaches the orbit, the nitrogen inflates the balloon and pops it out of its container. When all the gas has left the capsule, the balloon is erected into a sphere 30 in. in diameter. The pressure inside it (.2 lb.) is enough to stretch the wrinkles out of the aluminum film and make it mirror smooth. After doing this job, the nitrogen escapes into the vacuum outside. O'Sullivan wants to get rid of it because the balloon may be punctured by a meteor, and a jet of gas escaping from it might...
...specially treated surtace" and four metal rods as antennae 2.4 to 2.9 meters (7.9 to 9.5 ft.) long. When the carrier rocket was fired, the rods were folded back against the sphere, but swung outward on swivels when the satellite reached its orbit. The sphere is filled with nitrogen gas, presumably to help it get rid of the heat developed by the electrical equipment. If the satellite is punctured by a meteor, the gas pressure will fall at a rate that could tell the size of the meteor hole...
