Lunar Rescue (1988 video game). Lunar Rescue is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up video game in the Lunar Lander genre. It was developed by Practical Computer Applications and released for the Macintosh in 1988 by XOR Corporation. The game was written by Richard Nygord with art and animations by Mike Saenz.

Overview
The game is set in a science fiction future where the moon is populated by 26 domed colonies connected to each other by canyons that function as supply routes. An automated system called ICE (Independent Computerized Ecosystem) controls the living environments, canyon defense system and trade stations for each colony. Raiders have stolen the five ICE controlling crystals, causing the defense system to go haywire. The raiders hid the crystals throughout the canyons before being destroyed by the out-of-control canyon defenses. Anything passing through the canyons is now being attacked, and each settlement is now sealed off from the supply network.

The player travels through the canyons in a side-scrolling shoot 'em up action game, trading supplies between colonies to earn credits and delay the colonies' real-time decay. The player must land in the canyons using Lunar Lander-style controls to search bases and ruins for the stolen ICE crystals.

Reception
MacUser gave Lunar Rescue four and a half out of five mice, praising the game's controls and uncluttered interface. For MacUser, the game separated itself from other arcade games with its strategy game elements: the player can profit by paying attention to the economic situation. To win the game, the player must "develop a pattern of play, alternating between exploring the canyons for valuables and the ICE and returning to the cities for repairs and trading." The player must balance conservative play, which causes the moon's deterioration to accelerate, with adventurous play that risks losing ships and running out of money.

A Macworld review commended the game's "humanitarian goals" with killing "limited to machines" and combat secondary to moving essential goods to dying cities. Success depends upon making trading decisions based on changing commodity needs, weighing the challenges in traveling to different destinations, and becoming skilled enough to pilot a craft overloaded with cargo while searching for the missing ICE crystals.

Gun's Mills, Flaxley. Gun's Mills, at Flaxley, in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England, was a major industrial site from the 17th century. Originally built as an armaments factory with associated blast furnace in 1629, it was converted into a paper mill in the 18th century and operated as such until the late 19th century. By the 21st century the mill buildings were largely ruinous,  but are being restored as of 2023. Structures on the site included listed buildings and a scheduled monument. The mill complex has been described as the "best remaining furnace of the earliest phase of British blast-furnace practice' and as the "oldest surviving blast furnace that exists in Europe, if not in the world."

History
Gun's Mills (alternatively Gunn's Mills) began as a site for corn and fulling mills, fuelled by the water power from a tributary of the  neighbouring Westbury Brook. The complex is named after William Gunn, a wool fuller, who rented the site in the late 16th century. In the early 17th century, Sir John Winter (a.k.a Wintour/Wynter), a local ironmaster established an armaments foundry at the site. Winter, a staunch Royalist and private secretary to Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I, became a major supplier of weaponry to the king's forces.

By 1683 a blast furnace was operating at the site. The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAD) suggests this structure was a re-build of the original furnace. By 1743 the building had been converted to a paper mill. This operated until the end of the 19th century, when the site was converted to agricultural use and the mill was repurposed as a cowshed.

In the 21st century, the mill site was acquired by the Forest of Dean Buildings Preservation Trust, which is undertaking restoration. The main mill was covered in scaffolding and tarpaulin for over 20 years, for preservation while restoration funding was sought, but a grant from Historic England in 2023 has  enabled some progress.

Gunn Mill House now operates as an Asha centre.

Architecture and description
The Forest of Dean was a site for iron working from Roman times and by the 16th century had become an important industrial district, a “cradle of industry before the Industrial Revolution”. Gun's Mills has been described as the "best remaining furnace of the earliest phase of British blast-furnace practice", and as the "oldest surviving blast furnace, complete with its original lining and 'charging house' on top, that exists in Europe, if not in the world." The main mill is a Grade II* listed building. The furnace is a scheduled monument, and a house on the site is listed at Grade II.

Flying Machines Which Do Not Fly. "Flying Machines Which Do Not Fly" is an editorial published in the New York Times on October 9, 1903. The article incorrectly predicted it would take one to ten million years for humanity to develop an operating flying machine. It was written in response to Samuel Langley's failed airplane experiment two days prior. Sixty-nine days after the article's publication, American brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright successfully achieved the first heavier-than-air flight on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

Background 

By the beginning of the twentieth century, popular opinion regarded air travel as impossible. Contemporary engineers and scientists were also pessimistic about flight. Notable critics included Simon Newcomb, Lord Kelvin, and the chief engineer of the US Navy, George W. Melville, the latter of whom described flying machines as "wholly unwarranted, if not absurd". After five years of preparations, aviation pioneer Samuel Langley was ready to test out his Aerodrome on October 7, 1903. Piloted by Charles Manly, the aircraft failed to fly and dropped into the Potomac River immediately after launch.

Article 

The failure of the Aerodrome resulted in public ridicule of Langley. Two days after the failed experiment, an editorial published in the New York Times opined:
On the same day as the published article, Orville Wright wrote in his diary, "We started assembly today", in reference to the first airplane that he and his brother, Wilbur, would fly shortly thereafter. On December 8, 1903 Langley made a final attempt to fly his Aerodrome. Once again, the experiment failed and official support for Langley's project was withdrawn. Another New York Times editorial commented:

On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers disproved the New York Times—and many other doubters—with the successful flight of their airplane.

Legacy 
Astronaut Dave Williams regards the article as "perhaps the most infamous bad prediction of all time".  Political scientist P.W. Singer notes the article as his favorite example of a "completely and utterly wrong" prediction.

American President George W. Bush referenced the New York Times article during the centennial celebration of the Wright brothers' historic flight in December 2003.

Strontium azide. Strontium azide is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula . It is composed of the strontium cation () and the azide anions ().

Properties 
Strontium azide crystallizes in an orthorhombic Fddd space group. Unlike the azides of alkali metals which have a linear azide ion formation, strontium azide possesses bent azide ions, which can continue to bend further when under higher pressure.
