Study Notes
Gemini Mission Sample Menus
- NASA’s Gemini missions provided astronauts with three meals daily on a four-day rotating schedule.
- Sample food items included:
- Sugar cookie cubes (Day 1, Meal B)
- Chicken and vegetables (Day 2, Meal B)
- Shrimp cocktail (Day 4, Meal C)
- Hot cocoa (Day 3, Meal A)
O Pioneers! by Willa Cather
- The novel depicts Alexandra Bergson's deep emotional attachment to her natural environment.
- Notable quotations illustrating her connection:
- Emotion conveyed through the sounds of nature, depicting her heart aligned with wildlife.
- Alexandra actively engages with the agricultural community, learning about crops.
- Her solitary journey reflects a deeper connection to the landscape.
- Alexandra’s knowledge of farming details emphasizes her dedication and understanding of her surroundings.
"To You" Poem by Walt Whitman
- Whitman addresses readers directly, emphasizing their lack of self-awareness.
- Key quotations illustrating this claim include:
- Suggestion that readers have been oblivious to their true selves throughout their lives.
- Comparison between readers and vast landscapes, highlighting their potential and greatness.
- Expression of a desire to connect deeply with the reader, showcasing a missed opportunity.
- Claim of unique understanding of the reader's essence, distinguishing Whitman from others.
Solar Roasting of Green Chiles
- Traditional propane roasting of green chiles is environmentally harmful.
- Engineer Kenneth Armijo tested solar power roasting using between 38 and 42 heliostats to concentrate sunlight.
- Successful in achieving traditional roasting temperatures; however, propane was quicker.
- Findings showed that solar-roasted chiles took six minutes compared to four minutes with propane.
- Hypothesis: Increasing the number of heliostats could reduce solar roasting time.
- Supporting evidence for this hypothesis would be the performance result of using 50 heliostats yielding faster roasting times.
Wind Turbines Electricity Generation
- The graph indicates potential additional electricity generation by wind turbines during stronger-than-forecasted winds.
- Values ranged, suggesting variable efficiency based on wind strength, highlighting the importance of forecasting in renewable energy production.
