...used to be valued by democratic societies, are not very popular these days; therefore, it is good when other nations and cultures try to resist domination by the West.

Early needle-nosed spaceships were almost impossible to protect from the heat of reentry. Faget designed a blunt nose for the Mercury, which created a shock wave that deflected the heat...

"A man comes from time to time and passes on instructions," he says. The Wahhabis and the Maskhadov wing of the resistance tolerate, help and protect each other, but they don't like each other much.

DIED MAXIME FAGET, 83, NASA engineer whose design of the Mercury space capsule made it possible for men to return from space; in Houston, Texas. Early needle-nosed spaceships, designed for as little resistance as possible, were almost impossible to protect from the heat of re-entry. Faget designed a blunt nose for the Mercury, which created a shock wave that deflected the heat, a design feature later used on the Gemini and Apollo spacecraft, as well as the Soviet Soyuz...
