...went according to plan, Soyuz would spend another day and a half in space before landing July 21 under its single large parachute in the deserts of Kazakhstan, east of the Russians' Baikonur launch site. The Apollo crewmen, whose ship has far greater fuel and oxygen capacity than the smaller Soyuz, planned to stay in orbit another three days after the Russians landed, to conduct a series of experiments...
...develop total cardiovascular and pulmonary fitness in 30 minutes a week," says Dallas Physician Kenneth Cooper. His "aerobics" program, originally developed for the Air Force, aims at improving heart, lung and circulatory function through strenuous but graded exercises that promote the system's more efficient use of oxygen. The Morehouse book, Cooper complains, "is going to do a disservice to a person who wants to use exercise to practice preventive medicine...
...course of week-long in-hospital examinations of 30 Jamaicans who routinely smoke an average of seven marijuana cigarettes a day, doctors found that they were more likely than nonsmokers to exhibit hypoxia, a decrease of oxygen carried by the blood to the organs and tissues. But their heart rates, liver and lung functioning, coordination and memory were not significantly different from that of nonusers. Critics of the new study feel it did not look long or closely enough to find the genetic and other defects previously shown to be associated with marijuana; they still believe the drug is harmful...
...speed when windmills are working, could be used to run electrical generators when the wind ebbs. University of Massachusetts Engineer William Heronemus has an even more imaginative scheme: he would use the windmill's electrical output to break down water molecules into their component atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. The highly combustible hydrogen gas could then be used as a fuel to power stand-by generators...
...moon's orbit at a spot equidistant from earth and moon. Simultaneously, the space colonizers would set up a small mining base on the moon. Its purpose: to provide most of the building blocks for the colonies. Rich in aluminum, titanium, iron and other essential materials-including oxygen-lunar rocks could be fired off by a continuously catapulting device. Slowing as they climb out of the moon's gravity, these building blocks would eventually arrive at the construction site in free space. That would be much cheaper than carrying the materials from earth, where mineral-rich ores...
