Then Astronaut Collins swung open his hatch and stood up, sticking out into space from his waist...
...permanent mental retardation of their son. The Deutsches claimed that hospital nurses delayed Christopher's birth by pressing a towel against his head for twelve minutes-thus allowing the tardy doctor to arrive and collect his fee.

...pool of resources capable of meeting the huge needs of technology. While pioneering the technological revolution, on the other hand, the U.S. was not a bit shy about using techniques developed elsewhere, from France's pasteurization to Austria's basic oxygen process for steel. The British invented the jet engine -but U.S. jets practically monopolize the world's long-range routes today. The U.S. opened its arms to European scientists, who gave it, among other things, The Bomb...

The longest nominal compound discovered by McNeill appeared in the Congressional Record, and sounded as if it had been translated literally from the German: "liquid oxygen liquid hydrogen rocket powered single stage to orbit reversible boost system...
Breathing heavily and perspiring, Cernan soon saturated the atmosphere inside his space suit with more moisture than the suit's evaporator unit could handle.

After increasing his oxygen flow in a vain attempt to clear his visor, Cernan continued to check out the AMU. But just before he was scheduled to emerge from the adapter and jet off into space, Commander Stafford reluctantly scrubbed the experiment. "No go for the AMU," he reported to Houston. "The pilot's fogged...
