Space Travel

Explosives for Use at High Temperatures. Explosives that can withstand prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures without detonating find considerable use ia such appHcations as detonators for deep oil wells, space travel, and componentry for specialised appHcations. The explosives developed for this purpose are primarily nitroaromatic compounds, the most important of which are hexanitrostilbene and... 

Phase three, the renaissance of planetology, starting around 1960, caused in particular by the rapid development and successes of space travel. 

There is a consequence for space travel and planetary exploration associated with the viability of bacteria in space. Survival times of a few years would enable spacecraft to take bacteria from Earth to a target planet such as Mars. The two... 

The first step is conducted over an iron catalyst at 700°C the second by electrolysis. Proposed for use during prolonged space travel.

Figure 17.1 Plants as life support machines for space travel. Plant photosynthesis could provide oxygen and food, while removing carbon dioxide. Plant growing systems could also help waste water processing where the plant transpiration serves as a final distillation step after which the humidity is condensed as clean water.

Pre-WWII. The use of LP for space travel appears to have been first suggested by Ziol-kowsky in 1898, but not published until 1903 (Ref 1). He also suggested the piggy-back launch, ie, a rocket launched from another rocket, although this principle had been used much earlier in fireworks displays...

The Morris-Thorne wormholes can be used for space travel and time travel as described in the paper by Morris, Thorne, and Yurtsever (see Further Readings). Various debates continue about the theoretical possibility of the wormhole time machine. For readers interested in other discussions, see Visser s papers. In my book Black Holes A Traveler s Guide, I also include color graphics of 3-D versions of quantum foam and wormholes.
