...other devices that accelerate subatomic particles in a vacuum. For the same reason, electron beam-welding?which also requires a high vacuum?would be facilitated on the moon. Another joining process, cold-welding, could become an important part of lunar industry. In a vacuum, two perfectly clean and smooth metal surfaces?uncontaminated by oxides that are formed in the earth's atmosphere ?can be welded solidly together without heat and with little pressure...
Fitzgerald's cause came to the attention of Wisconsin Democrat William Proxmire, one of the military's harshest critics. Overcoming an attempt by Pentagon officials to restrict Fitzgerald's testimony before the Joint Economic Committee, Proxmire then launched into a smooth exchange with his prize witness.

But complete imprisonment is prevented both by her smooth motion down long corridors and through crowded rooms, and by her detached, wondering viewing of objects. At the end of the sequence she flees the crowded lower deck and goes above, into the open air. The beauty of her and the camera's motions, the freedom of the space around...
