...generally assumed that Wagner would take over as the state's Democratic boss-and be persuaded to run against Rocky. But Wagner hardly has the temperament of a boss; and he soon made it plain that he wanted no part of Rocky this year. The result: a vacuum of leadership within the New York Democratic Party...
...small moon in the distance." Vision was so clear aloft, added Nikolayev, that he could see the main streets of cities on earth; at times, he added, moonlight flooded into his cabin, illuminating the switches before him. Popovich said that each time he finished eating, he switched on a vacuum cleaner to clear away the lint from his paper napkin that hung weightless in the cabin. In a personal experiment with weightlessness, Popovich said that he had carried a bottle half full of water aloft with him. The water gathered about both ends of the bottle "and the air collected...
...Some U.S. scientists believe that the cosmo nauts probably defecated into a slight vacuum, after which the feces were passed into a con tainer and frozen. Under this system the liquid content can be evaporated, purified, and passed back into the cabin as clean water vapor. The dried residue might then be stored in plastic bags. A similar condensation process could be used to dispose of urine. - A Danish Communist paper speculated that the craft weighed &l/2 tons each, compared with the five tons of Vostok...
...that are harder to test under simulated space conditions, Goddard is getting ready for them with its nearly completed Space Environment Simulator. The Simulator can take into its belly a spidery satellite 40 ft. high and 28 ft. across. Then pumps will draw out the air, creating a hard vacuum just like that existing in space 250 miles high. The chamber's walls can be cooled to match the deathly cold of space, and a battery of arc lamps above quartz windows simulates the fierce unscreened sunlight. If a satellite survives this torture, it will probably work in actual...
...have to be supplied by spinning the spacecraft−a stunt that will call for radically new apparatus. Another unknown is the lunar surface; no one is sure at present just how hostile it is. Astronomers point out that it is inconceivably old, that it has stewed in a vacuum and been exposed to fierce radiation for billions of years. It may be spotted with strange things, such as free radicals−highly
