...headaches demonstrated once again that the shuttle is still very much an experimental vehicle. Even so, NASA could take pride in the debut of Spacelab and the new breed of payload specialists-scientists from outside the regular astronaut corps, including one West German researcher-who managed its heavy load of 72 experiments. The space agency noted that more than 90% of the studies had been completed. If the scientific data transmitted from orbit in just a single burst were lined up as small, text-size electronic symbols, one official calculated, they would extend from the earth to the moon. After...
What is there about these creatures that makes so many people wait in line for hours for a chance to push and shove and generally go bonkers? Two disc jockeys in Milwaukee wisecracked that a load of the dolls would be dropped from a B-29 bomber to people who held up catcher's mitts and American Express cards; two dozen believers actually turned up at County Stadium, braving a wind-chill factor of - 2° F, in the vain hope of manna...
...continuous workshop, about 13 ft. in diameter and 23 ft. in length. Positioned between the extended cylinder and the shuttle's tail assembly is a single pallet, holding 18 experiments, involving such equipment as cosmic-ray detectors, spectrometers and TV cameras. On future flights, as the experimental load increases, the tunnel can be lengthened and additional pallets added...
...most undergraduates at elite Smith College in Northampton, Mass., the road to one of the Seven Sisters has been smooth and untroubled. Despite the considerable work load there is always the comfortable feeling that the $8,430-a-year tuition bill will be met. But Gilda Palano is different. For a start, she is 48, and when she graduates next year with a B.A. in anthropology and sociology she will have overcome more obstacles than most of the young women around her will face in a lifetime...
Kelley explained that Marines can load their rifles in "two seconds" and "in my professional judgment, it would have been impossible to stop the truck with small-arms fire." Retorted Kentucky's Representative Larry Hopkins: "Maybe the M-16 would not have stopped the truck. We'll never know. But one thing we do know is that an empty M-16 couldn't have stopped the truck." In fact, during last week's almost identical attack on an Israeli military headquarters in southern Lebanon, an Israeli guard did shoot the driver, causing the truck to explode...
