In the early 1950s, a rocket crew member figured out how to keep rocket exhaust flames from melting the bottom of not only the test stands, but the rock they were standing on: use cascading showers of water to cool the hot zone. The result may have been to massively spread poisonous rocket fuel on a level not previously known. Finding may help explain one major contributing factor at the astronomically polluted lab.]]> http://www.enviroreporter.com/2010/02/goo-ology/feed/ 1 http://www.enviroreporter.com/2010/02/nasas-monkey-business/ http://www.enviroreporter.com/2010/02/nasas-monkey-business/#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:53:18 +0000 Michael Collins http://www.enviroreporter.com/?p=8359 http://www.enviroreporter.com/2010/02/nasas-monkey-business/feed/ 2 http://www.enviroreporter.com/2010/01/challenger-remembered/ http://www.enviroreporter.com/2010/01/challenger-remembered/#comments Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:51:49 +0000 Michael Collins http://www.enviroreporter.com/?p=8337 EnviroReporter.com remembers the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger that perished 24 years ago January 28, 1986.
