...earth's clouds or whether they are dust or hydrocarbons, as some authorities think. "I have now come to the end of my competence," he says, "but my personal opinion is that it does imply water." Further deductions are even more iffy, but Dr. Strong suspects that free oxygen may exist along with carbon dioxide in the Venusian atmosphere. If so, it probably comes from water molecules that are broken into hydrogen and oxygen by ultraviolet radiation from...
...delay-free smoothness of the launch was largely because Titan II, a practical, dependable military rocket, does not use troublesome liquid oxygen. Instead it burns storable liquid fuels (a mixture of hydrazine and unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine with nitrogen tetroxide as oxidizer) that are "hyper-golic," ignited spontaneously on contact. It is much more powerful than the Atlas that launched the manned Mercury capsules, having 430,000 Ibs. of thrust at takeoff instead of 360,000, and 100,000 Ibs. of thrust in its second stage. The dummy Gemini capsule, weighted with ballast and instruments, was more than twice as heavy...
Astronomer Maarten Schmidt focused Palomar's big scope on the strange source of electromagnetic noise. By using very long exposures, he photographed 3C-147's spectrum-the rainbow of lines and hues that give away the chemical secrets of their source. The pictures brought out oxygen and neon lines that were shifted farther toward the red end of the spectrum than any such lines ever photographed before. Since red shift is caused by motion, 3C-147, Schmidt decided, must be speeding away from the earth at 76,000 miles per second, almost half the speed of light...
...built it into the nation's fourth largest steelmaker, with 1963 sales of $846 million. Last week he announced that National will build the world's first mill containing all three of the industry's major new devices for producing more steel at lower cost: oxygen furnaces, continuous casting lines and vacuum degassers (for removing impurities). At 65, Tom Millsop drives himself like a youngster. Cigar-chomping, occasionally tobacco-chewing and always gregarious, he is Tom to most of his workers. Some years ago he moonlighted as mayor of Weirton, W. Va., defeating a former union organizer...
...high altitude is so thin it offers little resistance. As the plane climbs higher, it flies faster, and its engines swallow more air through their gaping intakes. But the All finally must reach an altitude where the air is so thin that its engines cannot gather enough oxygen to keep them roaring healthily. Above this point the plane slows down despite the diminishing resistance. Most experts are convinced that the All's top speed is considerably above the 2,000 m.p.h. with which it is officially credited, and that it makes its best speed somewhere around...
