In the early 1960s, America and the Soviet Union were involved in the Space Race. This started when the Soviets launched Sputnik, the first satellite, in 1957. Later, President John F. Kennedy declared in a speech that by the end of 1969, America would put a man on the moon. From that moment on, American society dedicated efforts to reach that goal. Schools increased math and science programs. Businesses spent money on aerodynamics and space research. Factories increased production to provide materials to NASA, so it could build test rockets. These efforts motivated American youths to explore amateur rocketry. One such youth was Homer Hickam, the son of a coal miner. He began a rocket club with friends from high school, and their discoveries in rocketry attracted some attention. As a result of his designs in high school, Homer won several science contests and an academic scholarship to study at Virginia Tech. After graduating, he served as an officer in Vietnam and then went to work for NASA in 1981. He worked on such projects as the Hubble Space Telescope. 20

Whos a good poet to listen to? i got back into shane koyczan and i'm wondering if anything else is out there.

The “big dig” the “big dig” (the central artery/tunnel project) has been complex and challenging. located in boston, massachusetts, this tunnel is eight lanes wide and three-and-a-half miles long. what is most amazing about this tunnel is that it is constructed under a major highway and skyscrapers located in boston’s financial district. construction crews used “clamshell excavators” during this dig. these machines carved narrow trenches, and then a special substance was pumped into the trench to keep the dirt from caving in. finally, steel beams were lowered into the trench and concrete was pumped in. one problem that engineers faced while constructing the tunnel is the fact that the soil beneath boston is extremely loose and soggy. engineers solved this dilemma by freezing the soil and pumping very cold water into pipes beneath the city. to strengthen the soil even further, a special type of glue was injected into the ground to with the consolidation of the soil. 23 which phrase best defines the word excavator as used in the passage? a. a device used to measure underground temperatures b. a device used to level uneven surfaces c. a device used to move heavy objects d. a device used to dig holes
