The trickle of oxygen became a steady stream, joining in a chemical reaction with hydrogen to produce the electricity to run the craft's computer, radar, communications and environment-control systems. For reasons not yet fully understood, the pressure inside the oxygen tank increased as the volume of liquid...
On the third day up, the astronauts did the next best thing: they played a game of electronic tag. In an imaginary chase across the heavens, Cooper, in four precise maneuvers, closed the gap between the orbit of Gemini 5 and the simulated orbit of a phantom Agena rocket plotted...
But back at NASA's Houston control room, Flight Director Chris Kraft's ground crew was growing more and more worried about the unheated fuel for the fuel cells. The pressure kept falling; it was already dangerously low at 180 p.s.i. Because the radar, radio and computer would...

Neither the automatic nor the manual controls for the oxygen tank heater would function. And getting at the heater itself was out of the question. Located in the adapter section, it was...
A computer-controlled centrifuge will soon be available to determine how crews and their systems stand up under the G forces of rapid acceleration. The world's largest vacuum chamber, which bulges into the shape of a 120-ft. stainless-steel beer keg and is big enough to swallow...
