...water turns into steam, and a jet of steam and water spurts out at 1,140 m.p.h. The reaction, Michely claims, can push an airplane forward just as efficiently as a fuel-burning rocket, and much more cheaply. When electricity is used for heating, the same amount of thrust costs less than one-seventieth as much as with a solid-fuel rocket. Other heat sources would be even cheaper...
Like many a disillusioned man, Bhave has changed his attitude from a vague idealism to a desperate radicalism. Said he, dashing aside the garlands that were thrust upon him last week: "Bhoodan stands for land revolution by abolishing private ownership. I want to wipe out individual land ownership...
...National Academy of Sciences released information about the small, short-lived artificial moon that will be shot into an orbit during the International Geophysical Year (1957-58). The launching vehicle will be a three-stage rocket. The first stage, whose rocket motor will have 27,000 lbs. of thrust, will take off from the Air Force's missile test base at Cape Canaveral, Fla. About two minutes after takeoff, it will have traveled about 40 miles, and will be traveling 3,000 to 4,000 m.p.h. Then the second rocket stage will take over, reaching 11,000 m.p.h...
...defense levy of $75 million-$50 for every man, woman and child in Israel (and the average national income is only $450 a year). Other recommendations: a ban on luxury imports, and conscription of persons between 35 and 45 to work in frontier settlements likely to face the first thrust of Arab attack...
...obvious value for an ICBM, and both are being developed. One, under contracts with American Bosch Arma, AC Spark Plug and M.I.T., is "inertial guidance." Its heart is a subtle instrument that senses every force that acts on the flying missile, the enormous force of the rocket thrust and the delicate forces of crosswinds and yawing motions. This information goes to a computer (contracts with Burroughs and Sperry Rand) that figures out the missile's position, speed and direction. If any one of these is not right for the programmed trajectory, the computer makes corrections, moving the missile...
