Everyone, it seems, is 74 trillion years old, and has been reincarnated over & over in cycles ("spirals"), which have been getting shorter as evolution has speeded up. The current spiral began a mere 35,000 years ago. Everyone has a "theta being," which represents his essential thought-energy and becomes associated with a "MEST" body (another Hubword made from the initials of matter, energy, space, time...
...them up. The highest-flying rocket so far (the two-stage "Bumper WAC Corporal," which rose 250 miles) came back to earth with its steel fins partially fused. The recovery men shudder at the thought of what would happen to Von Braun's returning crews. Their red-hot spiral around the earth may be theoretically possible, but even a slight mischance would be fatal...
...station would also be useful, Von Braun says, for launching atom-armed guided missiles. They would spiral downward red hot, and their descent would be timed to keep them in view of the space station. Their targets on earth would be visible too. As the missile approaches its target, its course could be corrected by radio from the station, making a square hit inevitable. Once a supply of such missiles had been stockpiled in the orbit, potential aggressors below would be forced to keep the global peace...
After sufficient research with the new telescope, Bok says astronomers will be able to chart reasonably well these spiral arms and eventually fit the earth in its proper position on or near one of them...
There are three ways of showing the spiral shape of our galaxy: 1) By tracing the gaseous emissions of blue-white "super giant" stars (10,000 time as bright as the sun) 2) By tracing clouds of hydrogen gasses that tend to follow the spiral arms and 3) By tracing cosmic dust...
