...cloud patterns of its weather in ways that are impossible for earth-bound humans. Some of these jobs might be difficult for a light satellite, such as the 21.5-lb. U.S. Vanguard. But a properly equipped satellite could take pictures of the earth or the sun and transmit them to the ground by some sort of TV or telephoto process. Such data, in the hands of the world's scientists, would give the human species a much better understanding of its home planet, and the ocean of space around...
...hours before the experiment was abandoned. But the animal could not breathe by itself, without the aid of the lung machine, because the transplanted lungs had no nerve connections. If only the left lung was transplanted, the recipient's right lung still had nerve connections to transmit the breathing reflexes. In dogs so treated, the transplanted heart beat normally, and the unmatched lungs breathed, for as long as 18 hours...
Nevertheless, the race centers on three major companies: Manhattan's Skiatron Electronics and Television Corp., Los Angeles' International Telemeter Corp. (88% owned by Paramount Pictures), Chicago's Zenith Radio Corp.. which pioneered toll TV in 1947. All three transmit scrambled TV pictures, and the viewer decodes them by dropping coins into a box affixed to the set or by slipping a billing card into a slot...
...disk was about 18 ft. high, and rested on a pawnshop-type landing gear of three balls. Two 6-ft.-tall men got out of the saucer, and Guimaraes tried small talk in English, French. Spanish and Italian, but got no answer. Then the strangers started to transmit on the professor's wave length. "They were communicating with me telepathically," he explains. ''They were inviting me aboard...
...over again without wearing out, can be erased and used again for new recordings. Tape recorders are challenging phonographs for hi-fi music; they fly in jet planes and guided missiles to record test data; in the first earth satellite, a tape recorder will read dozens of instruments and transmit the data to earth. Using magnetic tape, giant computers compile payrolls and forecast sales. Entire libraries and millions of legal documents are being tape-recorded. This fall CBS and NBC will replace their kinescopes with tape recorders to rebroadcast TV programs so that they can be shown at the same...
