Heatshield Inventor
ᅠIn the late 1950's NACA and the Department of Defense had a problem.ᅠ They could not figure out how to make a heat shield for manned spacecraft or ICBMs.ᅠ The Air Force used heat-sink metals, especially copper and the Navy, on Polaris, used a beryllium heat sink shield.ᅠ The Space Task Group, in March, 1958, were leaning toward the heat sink method.ᅠ The Huntsville, Alabama museum for the tested nose cones all show pointed, refractory types.ᅠ Then Dr. Nininger, a renowned meteoriticist, revealed to NASA's Julian Allen that meteors that land successfully are blunt and pitted.ᅠ Allen claimed this discovery.ᅠ Then an unknown potato peeler inventor, Everett Young, disclosed his patented invention for manned reentry to earth.ᅠ It used a sandwiched cellular construction with permeable substrate, differential ablation and a vacuum gap.ᅠ NASA copied his ideas and used them on Gemini, Apollo, and now Constellation spacecraft heat shields.ᅠ Young's family suffered severely as a result of NASA's disregard for the real heat shield inventor and the job promised him.

Maroon & Gold
In Maroon & Gold: A History of Sun Devil Athletics, veteran sportswriter Bob Eger recounts not only the most celebrated moments but many little-known items from the university's colorful sports history. From turn-of-the-century football legend Charlie Haigler to the electrifying Whizzer White to latterday star Jake Plummer, the rich football lineage is well documented. But this is much more than a football book. Who could forget coach Ned Wulk's great basketball teams of the early 1960s or the five national basketball titles? It's a little-known fact that women were participating in an early form of aerobics on campus as early as 1891 and playing basketball in 1898, though the school didn't begin attracting national attention for women's athletics until golfer JoAnne Gunderson and diver Patsy Willard began to dominate their sports in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Maroon & Gold: A History of Sun Devil Athletics is must reading for any true Sun Devil fan from any generation.
