...solar wind and the Venusian ionosphere. The Russians at first reported that carbon dioxide comprised 98% of the Venusian atmosphere, but later revised the figure down to between 90% and 95%, closer to Mariner's reported 72% to 87%. And while Mariner could find no evidence of oxygen in the atmosphere, the Venus 4 capsule reported a trace (.4 of 1%) of oxygen and some water vapor...
...dressing room in a wheelchair to ease the pain of a crushed disk in her back, and dismisses visitors with the sigh, "I must do my breathing now." Since pneumonia damaged her lungs in 1961, she has had to inflate them several times a day with a pressurized oxygen tank that accompanies her everywhere (she calls it "Charlie...
Striking Addition. Suffering with the rest of the industry, Inland last week reported that earnings through the year's first nine months had dropped 29% from 1966 levels. Among other things depressing profits is the cost of Inland's ambitious modernization, including its first basic-oxygen furnace shop and a new computer-controlled hot-strip mill. His eyes turned toward the future, Joe Block has logged $250 million in capital expenditures over the past two years, huge outlays for a company with an annual sales level of about $1 billion...
...pressures up to 15 times as great as the earth's and determined that the atmosphere consists almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which, scientists believe, is spewed out by volcanic activity. No trace of nitrogen (which constitutes 78% of the earth's atmosphere) and only 1.5% of oxygen and water vapor were detected. In readings made before Venus 4 entered the atmosphere, the Russians could find no evidence of a Venusian magnetic field and radiation belt...
...Liquid oxygen (LOX) is used as an oxidizer in rocket engines and in steel production. Liquid hydrogen has been proposed as the fuel for the supersonic transport and as the propellant in a nuclear rocket. In bubble chambers, it allows scientists to trace the path of sub-atomic particles. Gas companies are liquefying natural gas for more convenient and economical storage, and liquid nitrogen is now used to freeze the earth around excavations so that mud will not slide into the work area...
