While engineers made some progress toward this goal, the paraglider wings never deployed fast enough to be effective. NASA eventually scrapped the idea in 1964. While initially disappointing, the switch to a water landing system was probably for the best. On early Gemini flights, astronauts ...
Gun barrels have spiraling grooves cut into them that make bullets spin around very fast as they emerge. A spinning bullet is like a gyroscope: a sort of "stubborn" spinning wheel that always tries to keep turning the same way. If you try to tilt a gyroscope while it's spinning, it wi...
While a pilot controls the airspeed and altitude, a weapon system officer (WSO) focuses on operating the radar and deploying weapons. In comparison to the MiG-25, the Foxhound features enhanced radar capabilities and improved avionics, making it able to fly fast with good stability at low ...
A plane's jet engines fire it forwards so its wings can lift it up; a rocket's engines lift it up directly.The faster things move and the more their shape disturbs the air, the more drag they create and the more energy they waste, uselessly, as they speed along. That's why fast-...
The nucleus can also emit a burst of electromagnetic energy known as a gamma ray. Gamma rays are the only type of nuclear radiation that comes from energy instead of fast-moving particles. Remember that fission part especially. It's going to keep coming up as we discuss the inner workings ...
a) How fast is the rocket moving aft the end of the 3 seconds? b) What is A space rocket is launched and accelerates uniformly from rest to 120 ms minus 1 in 4.5 s. How far does the rocket travel at this time? A rocket is l...
“Test engineers on the commercial side like to record their data, while on the military side they like to transmit it for safety reasons. “On the commercial side they want the vehicle to return, on the military side, the vehicle generally does not return.” ...

America’s attention was suddenly shifted toward Hawaii on Saturday, as alerts were sent out warning of a “ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii.” The text message claimed that it was not a drill. Since then, authorities have claimed that this was a mistake — not the actions of a...
