Book excerpt: The Chief, a dying billionaire, has dreams as big as his net worth. Before he dies, he'll see the biggest one come true. A lifetime of observing the sky has rewarded him with a destination and now nothing will stop him from seeing his dreams brought to life. He's found what he believes is the sister star to his own sun, and he fully expects to find inhabitable planets there. He has committed himself to financing an interstellar expedition, and now all he needs is a crew. He is building a ship for the journey a ship that he's convinced can reach half the speed of light. If his math is on target, the round trip to this new planet should take roughly twenty-eight years. But for the crew, the time will pass as in a dream as they safely hibernate in freezers designed for the journey. He has certain specific requirements of his crew, but first he must find a recruiter someone to assemble the crew of his dreams. The rewards are enticing, the Chief believes. His crew will be the first humans to walk on an alien world, and on top of that, they will be handsomely paid. So the search begins for single, educated, and adventurous souls who want to go on the adventure of a lifetime. But like most grand dreams, things to do not always go as planned. Can his crew save the Chief's dreams and their lives?

Download or read book In Pursuit of the Unknown written by Ian Stewart and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventeen equations that form the basis for life as we know it. Most people are familiar with history's great equations: Newton's Law of Gravity, for instance, or Einstein's theory of relativity. But the way these mathematical breakthroughs have contributed to human progress is seldom appreciated. In In Pursuit of the Unknown, celebrated mathematician Ian Stewart untangles the roots of our most important mathematical statements to show that equations have long been a driving force behind nearly every aspect of our lives. Using seventeen of our most crucial equations -- including the Wave Equation that allowed engineers to measure a building's response to earthquakes, saving countless lives, and the Black-Scholes model, used by bankers to track the price of financial derivatives over time -- Stewart illustrates that many of the advances we now take for granted were made possible by mathematical discoveries. An approachable, lively, and informative guide to the mathematical building blocks of modern life, In Pursuit of the Unknown is a penetrating exploration of how we have also used equations to make sense of, and in turn influence, our world.

Download or read book Eleven Seconds Into the Unknown written by Curtis Peebles and published by Amer Inst of Aeronautics &. This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleven Seconds into the Unknown: A History of the Hyper-X Program is a sequel to the author's first book on the X-43A/Hyper-X project, Road to Mach 10: Lessons Learned from the X-43A Flight Research Program. The Hyper-X program involved the efforts of numerous governmental and commercial organizations, each with its own culture, experience, and tradition. A central theme of the Hyper-X story is how these disparate groups and organizations became a unified team working toward a common goal. Making the team's task more difficult were the technological, political, and funding challenges during nearly fifty years of scramjet development. Eleven Seconds into the Unknown: A History of the Hyper-X Program addresses these issues in compelling fashion, and will appeal to anyone interested in high-speed flight, aerospace history, the organization and management of technological projects, and the future of spaceflight.
