...eight of them put their lessons to work by founding GASP (Greater Washington Alliance to Stop Pollution). Students at Western Washington State College are engaged in a long-range study aimed at keeping healthy lakes from being poisoned by increasing population, radioactive fallout and disturbances of currents, temperature and oxygen content. At Georgia Tech, 14 student architects have developed an award-winning design for urban amenities in the poverty area of a small Southern city. At M.I.T., students of chemical engineering are working on air-pollution abatements to "clean up the image of our profession...
...moon walk itself raised almost as many questions as it answered. "They had more mobility and they were able to move faster with greater ease than some of us expected," said Gilruth. "They only used about half to a third of the oxygen and water that we might have expected them to use." But why did Aldrin have so much trouble penetrating the lunar surface beyond a few inches with his core sampler? Why was he able to plant the stand for the solar wind experiment only a few feet away with such ease? Why did the blast from...
Each day, Detroit, Cleveland and 120 other municipalities fill Erie with 1.5 billion gallons of inadequately treated wastes, including nitrates and phosphates. These chemicals act as fertilizer for growths of algae that suck oxygen from the lower depths and rise to the surface as odoriferous green scum. Commercial and game fish-blue pike, whitefish, sturgeon, northern pike-have nearly vanished, yielding the waters to trash fish that need less oxygen. Weeds proliferate, turning water frontage into swamp. In short, Lake Erie is in danger of dying by suffocation...
...reclamation, irrigation and flood-control projects. With the right management, we might graze a cow on half the land it takes now. Maybe we can improve on the time it takes to grow and harvest forests. Maybe we should conserve natural beauty not just for viewing but for putting oxygen back into the air and all the necessary things a green belt...
Other stages of the flight had been ?and would be?dangerous enough. At any point during the eight-day journey, a massive failure of the electrical or oxygen systems, or a collision with a large meteor would almost surely result in tragedy. But lift-off was the most nerve-racking part of the mission. If the ascent engine had failed to start, Eagle would have been stranded on the lunar surface. Too short a burn would have tossed the module into a trajectory that would send it smashing back onto the lunar surface. Had the LM achieved an orbit...
