''Togetherness''

This article,  published in the December 1960 issue of Aerospace Magazine, describes safety procedures for the correct handling of the Boeing BOMARC air defense missile during air transport. The tone of the article is unusual for such a subject -' 'As this article goes to press, the safety record of Bomarc airlifts can be summed up in four words: so far, so good. You may recall, however, the optimist who jumped off the top of a New York office building. He was heard to yell the same thing as he passed the 20th floor: so far, so good''
The writer of the article, some guy named Thomas Pynchon, quit Boeing in 1962 and went on to become a novelist of some renown.

''Fallout Chic''

The result of a research contract awarded to Rice University, Department of Architecture by the US Civil Defense agency. Five architects designed fallout shelters for industrial buildings.

''Far out, dudes!''

''In August 1997, NASA sponsored a 3-day workshop to assess the prospects emerging from physics that may eventually lead to creating propulsion breakthroughs -the kind of breakthroughs that could revolutionize space flight and enable human voyages to other star systems. Experiments and theories    were discussed regarding the coupling of gravity and electromagnetism, vacuum fluctuation energy, warp drives and wormholes, and superluminal quantum tunneling.''

This must be one of  the most  far fetched things you can find on the web. It makes the works of H.P. Lovecraft, P.K. Dick and W.S. Burroughs seem sedate by comparison. Like a prequel to A Canticle for Leibowitz. Amen!

''If we create higher temperature and density in a limited region of the solar interior, we may be able to produce self-supporting detonation thermonuclear reactions that spread to the full solar volume (...) This explosion would annihilate the Earth and the Solar System, as we know them today.''

1958: ''How the Web Was Won''

 

The Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE)  air defense system was designed by IBM for the US Air Force in the early 1950s to coordinate the response to air attack:

''Its innovative technological contributions to IBM and the IT industry as a whole were significant. These included magnetic-core memories, which worked faster and held more data than earlier technologies; a real-time operating system (a first); highly disciplined programming methods; overlapping computing and I/O operations; real-time transmission of data over telephone lines; use of interactive terminals and input light pens (a first); redundancy and backup methods and components; and the highest reliability of computer systems (uptime) of the day. It was the first geographically distributed, online, real-time application of digital computers in the world. Because many of the technological innovations spun off from this project were ported over to new IBM computers in the second half of the 1950s by the same engineers who had worked on SAGE, the company was quickly able to build on lessons learned in how to design, manufacture and maintain complex systems.''
