 | Astounding Science Fiction Nov 1942.
Catherine and Henry had a huge body of work, both individually and as collaborators. One of their stories was "The Twonky", a cautionary tale about over-reliance on technology and authoritarian entities. It was first released in the November 1942 issue of "Astounding Science Fiction" magazine.It was released under the pen name Lewis Padgett which was one of the pseudonyms used by Henry and Catherine when they collaborated.
In 1996 the Hugo Award for science fiction literature added a retro category to allow work written before there was a Hugo award to be recognized. In 2018 The Twonky was awarded the Hugo Retro Award for Best Short Story of 1943.
In 1898 National Public Radio on their show "Science Fiction" did a radio version of the story faithful to the original magazine story. |

 | Astro 1.
Four instruments made up the Astro-1 Observatory: the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT), the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT), the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimeter Experiment (WUPPE), and the Broad-Band X-Ray Telescope (BBXRT). The Astro ultraviolet telescopes photograph the UV sky (imaging), measure the energy distribution of UV wavelengths (spectroscopy), and analyze the intensity and orientation of UV light (photometry and polarimetry). The Astro X-ray telescope uses spectroscopy to measure the energy distribution of X-ray photons.
By using more than one instrument, Astro-1 gathered different types of information at the same time on the same objects. It was the first observatory that could simultaneously take ultraviolet pictures of objects, study their ultraviolet and X-ray spectra, and determine brightness and structure through photometry and polarimetry.
Astro-1 viewed targets ranging from our solar system’s backyard to the depths of the cosmos. The target list included virtually every kind of object in the astrophysical sky, from tightly grouped clusters of stars to large, tenuous nebulas. |

 | Atlanta Roundhouse Ruins.
Atlanta was largely destroyed in the Civil War. Some things like this railroad round house were destroyed by fleeing rebels to prevent the assets from being used by the Union Army. Much more was destroyed when the Union Army left. Fires and explosions set to destroy military assets spread and destroyed much of the city. |

 | Aurora 7.
The Aurora 7 space capsule is now on permanent display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois.
The Mercury capsule was capable of keeping and astronaut alive and returning him to Earth and nothing more. Yet that was enough to cause trouble for Carpenter. The start of that trouble was a malfunctioning yaw sensor. Due to bad data the computer was keeping the spacecraft misaligned. Realigning the spacecraft used more fuel than the mission called for.
On the ground the flight controller sent a constant stream of orders via capcoms for Carpenter to conserve his fuel. Carpenter wasn't worried. After the first orbit the computer lit the low fuel warning light. Carpenter promptly covered it with a piece of tape so it wouldn’t bother him.
He did his best to conserve the remaining fuel while accomplishing the experiments he was tasked with. He also experienced "fireflies". Mysterious flashing lights that were first seen by John Glen when he accomplished America's first orbital space flight. Carpenter was able to determine they were nothing more than frost coming off the capsule itself.
He was accused of inattention which other than investigating the "fireflies" wasn't the case. He was also accused of panicking which, flight recordings of his medical data, his heart rate, blood pressure, etc. show that wasn't the case.
After 3 orbits and just shy of 5 hours, reentry began 3 seconds late. This ended up causing him to overshooting his re-entry target by about 250 miles.
After learning from NASA that the recovery crew were at least an hour away, Carpenter crawled out of the cramped, hot capsule. He dropped a life raft into the ocean, and took the time to relax and think about the mission. When the recovery divers swam up to the raft three hours later, Carpenter offered them some food from his survival kit.
More than anything this pointed out the biggest flaw of the Mercury era. The orbiting astronaut, an experienced test pilot wanted to be in command of his mission, but so did the Flight Director who was an engineer. Eventually the Gemini missions became more complex and the balance of power forever shifted in the astronaut's favor.

 | Avery Island.
When is an island not an island? Avery Island is actually a geological formation known as a "salt dome". It stand above the surrounding area which is all wetlands. At it's highest point it is 163 feet above sea level. This makes it the highest point on the Gulf Coast. The original French explorers called it "Ile Petite Anse" or Little Cove Island.
The first family to settle there was the Marsh family who grew sugar cane there. Their land eventually came under the control of Daniel Dudley Avery and his wife Sarah Craig (Marsh) Avery. In the late 1800's the land would be renamed Avery Island in honor of Daniel Dudley Avery.
