He took material from a tumor on the bird's breast, ground it ultrafine to smash the very cells, filtered the stuff through silica so that not even a broken cell could pass, and injected the liquid into healthy chickens. They soon developed cancers of the same type (sarcoma) as the original...
...more miles of speed is still being debated by the rocket experts. The official explanation, that its first stage climbed too steeply and so did not benefit fully from the speed of the earth's rotation, is not accepted by all. Another possibility is that some of the liquid fuel in the second-stage tanks failed to burn. A third theory is that the solid fuel in the third-stage rocket became chilled before firing and therefore did not give the expected amount of energy...
...expected to reach 3,600 m.p.h.-twice the speed of a high-powered rifle bullet. Since such speeds cannot be maintained in the lower atmosphere, the X-15 will be carried to 35,000 ft. by a B-52, will then climb to an altitude of 100 miles. Burning liquid ammonia and liquid oxygen, its motor will develop 50,000 Ibs. of static thrust, and more power (500,000 h.p.) at full speed than the carrier Forrestal...
...Cape Canaveral was bathed in a fluffy, gently swirling fog. Cradled in its candy-striped gantry, breathing icy puffs of liquid oxygen, was the Air Force's 88-ft. Pioneer moon-probe missile.
