...dust-catching Aerobee-Hi, launched last month from White. Sands, N. Mex., climbed for 102 miles before blossoming, folded its petals only after it dropped within 65 miles of the earth's surface. When it finally landed, Physicist Robert K. Soberman of the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory hoped to find a few micrometeor punctures in the three-layer sandwich of thin Mylar film and Plexiglas that lined the Aerobee's dust catchers. What he actually found was something quite different: during each second of exposure, some ten meteorites had hit each square centimeter. Most of the holes...
...test-ban moratorium. I mentioned the neutron bomb would operate as a kind of death ray. It would do next to no physical damage and result in no contamination, but it would immediately destroy all life in the target area. Today I doubt there is a single nuclear physicist of repute who would challenge the neutron bomb from the standpoint of feasibility. It can be built, but nothing can be done to build it until we are free to resume nuclear testing." Dodd hinted that the Russians may soon get the neutron bomb. "At that point," he warned, "we might...
...Sound. The most ambitious A.S.W. project now under consideration is Artemis, an extremely powerful sonar system that may-so its tests indicate-fill a whole ocean with searching sound and spot anything sizable that is moving in the water. Artemis grew out of a 1951 suggestion by Harvard Physicist Frederick V. Hunt, who convinced Navy A.S.W. experts that submarines could be detected at great distances only by unheard-of volumes of low-pitched sound...
