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...
...radio telescope may give astronomers greater insight into the structure of the universe, particularly of our galaxy--the Milky Way--which scientists believe to have a pinwheel shape with the sun in the middle and spiral arms of stars and gasses circling out from this center...
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...
