In the gripping Never Panic Early, Fred Haise, Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 13, offers a detailed firsthand account of when disaster struck three days into his mission to the moon. An oxygen tank exploded, a crewmate uttered the now iconic words, “Houston, we’ve had a problem here,” and the world anxiously watched as one of history’s most incredible rescue missions unfolded. Haise brings listeners into the heart of his experience on the challenging mission—considered NASA’s finest hour—and reflects on his life and career as an Apollo astronaut.

Background Subsurface investigations require use of equipment to gain information below the ground surface. The equipment is typically invasive and requires disturbance of the ground to varying degrees. Most of these exploration techniques are relatively expensive and therefore should be carefully planned and controlled to yield the maximum amount of information possible. It should be kept in mind that the quality of the information produced can vary significantly. If procedures are not followed carefully and data not interpreted properly, radically different conclusions can be reached. For...

You have read the headlines. Quantum computing will crack today’s encryption. It will simulate molecules no supercomputer can touch. It will solve optimization problems that have stumped logistics networks for decades. Every time you try to follow the explanation, the jargon arrives like a wall — qubits, superposition, decoherence, entanglement — and the tab gets closed. Meanwhile, the boardrooms, research labs, and defense agencies that understand this technology are already making decisions that will reshape your industry, your data, and your career. The gap between those who ...

his section addresses the general requirements for the design and selection of a refrigerated system for cold storage. ASHRAE Standards and Handbook are the basis for refrigeration system design, selection, installation, testing, and operating. For ammonia systems, the standards of the International Institute of Ammonia Refrigerators (IIAR) will apply, and if more stringent than ASHRAE Standards, IIAR will prevail. Design new refrigerated facilities to meet the considerations for building design that are provided in the refrigerated facility design chapter of ASHRAE Handbook – ...

Treatment of industrial makeup water is a process of external water treatment. External treatment involves the treatment, by various processes, of makeup water to remove or reduce hardness, alkalinity, dissolved gases, or other impurities before the water enters the water system (as in steam boiler, cooling tower, closed hot water system or chilled water system). This process of external treatment is often referred to as “pre-treatment.” In contrast, internal treatment involves the treatment of water directly within the water system. Both external and internal treatment methods may be ...

Without John C. Houbolt, a mid-level engineer at NASA, Apollo 11 would never have made it to the moon. Top NASA engineers on the project, including Werner Von Braun, strongly advocated for a single, huge spacecraft to travel to the moon, land, and return to Earth. It's the scenario used in 1950s cartoons and horror movies about traveling to outer space. Houbolt had another idea: Lunar Orbit Rendezvous. LOR would link two spacecraft in orbit while the crafts were travelling at 3,600 miles an hour around the moon. His plan was ridiculed and considered unthinkable.
