This morning by asking you our viewers are you confident in the u. S. Strategy to combat isis . The numbers are on your screen. Good morning. Before we get to your calls about how confident you are in the u. S. Strategy to combat iraq, lets take a look at what president obama said yesterday at his press conference at the pentagon. I do think that because of our extraordinary efforts the homeland is significantly safer than it otherwise would be. Now, in some ways this is arguing the counter factuals, but the attacks we prevent i take great satisfaction in and i am grateful for the extraordinary work that our teams do. I dont think theres any doubt that had we not destroyed al qaeda in the fata, that more americans would have been killed. And we might have seen more attacks like we saw on 9 11, and we have maintained vigilance, recognizing that those threats still remain, those aspirations in the minds of these folks still remain. But it is much harder for them to carry out largescale a
Cowling, what i mean is that theres a tight figtting metal covering and allows the air to flow over more efficiently. So, mark burket of the spanish Swiss Company has designed a very important series of automobile engines in the prewar era. He adapts this to the aeronautical application by taking two of his inline four engines, makes it into a v8, and what he does thats very unique is instead of having separate cylinders attached to the crank case, he casts a row of cylinders out of a solid piece of aluminum. And he has cooling packagssages those aluminum blocks that allows improved cooling and more power. So instead of a rotary engine, you know, doing 110, 120 horsepower, youre looking at 200 or 220 horsepower with these engines by the time theyre introduced in the spad xii. Theres always a technological pushpull over the western front in world war i, in which the germans have an advantage with their thick air foiled tubular steel fuselaged aircraft like the folker d 7 that you can se
The moon. So its actually fairly flimsy in some areas. The legs are obviously strong and mount for the rocket engine is strong but the craft itself and particularly the crew module or crew cabin was really fairly spartan. It had two windows. Neil armstrong had command of the craft during the final descent to landing. Both of them were standing. They were fully suited in their space suit and they pretty much filled that interior volume in that position with those space suits on. It was not really designed for comfort. It was designed for the purpose of landing, giving the crew an exit so they could spend a couple of hours on the surface of the moon and then launching again along with their precious cargo of lunar soil and rocks to bring back home to demonstrate that they had been there and to have those materials for scientists to begin analyzing and better understand the moon. Its also amazing to think that the Computing Power required in that day to send these craft to the moon and pr
