...burning up due to friction when it hits the relatively dense atmosphere of the earth at 20,000 m.p.h. To study this friction in the laboratory, Dr. Gabriel M. Giannini, a close friend of the late Atomic Physicist Enrico Fermi, is building a device called a "plasma jet." A stream of inert gas such as argon is passed through a high intensity electric discharge. The resulting heat forces a jet of highly ionized gas out a small hole at enormous speed and temperature (even a small jet will quickly chew through a steel plate). Since the jet is largely ionized...

The result is poignant, eerie, fateful, with highly dramatic moments. No other living poet...
