...miracle, but with two we start building statistics." In the course of eight future statistic-building tests scheduled to be finished by 1964, Saturn will acquire a live second stage, which will be powered by a cluster of six 15,000-lb.-thrust engines nourished by liquid hydrogen and oxygen. Scientists figure that Saturn eventually will be able to heave more than 200,000 lbs. into orbit around the earth, or send an 80,000-lb. payload to outer space. This is far more weight than can be put aloft by any other U.S. missile-more than enough to send...
Moment's Notice. What makes Titan II unique is a storable fuel that requires no lox (liquid oxygen) and enables the missile to be ready to fire at a moment's notice. Lox, which is used in the Atlas and Titan I, is cheap and an efficient oxidizer, but its extreme cold ( - 297°F.) and its eagerness to boil away make it troublesome and unreliable. Instead of this chemical bad actor, Titan II uses nitrogen tetroxide as an oxidizer and a mixture of hydrazine and UDMH (unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine) as fuel. Both are liquids that can be stored...
...jolly old political Santa who wouldn't harm a flea-he's much too busy squashing people. But the picture belongs to Actress Page, who starred with Newman in the Broadway play. She swirls to the girls' room as if to a coronation, she cuddles her oxygen mask as a normal woman might cuddle a newborn babe, she dimples in maidenly dither at her gigolo's advances, she proceeds a moment later with hard-nosed efficiency to collect what she has paid for. She is a mascaraed monument to the era of the superstar, a veritable...
...disabled plane and get him down safely. The wind blast at high speed tears at a pilot's face, smashes cruelly at his chest, twists his limbs into grotesque positions. If he is not battered to death, he is likely to freeze or die from lack of oxygen on the way down...
...readying Glenn's Atlas-D booster and space capsule for safe flight. After that, in nerve-racking order, came delays caused by a faulty fuel valve in the booster, a malfunction in the cooling system of Glenn's spacesuit, a breakdown in the capsule's oxygen supply unit...
