Limitations Talks/Treaty (SALT) II -> because SALT I did not prevent The U.S. and The Soviet Union from enlarging through the deployment of Multiple Independently Targeted Re-Entry Vehicles onto their ICBMs (Intercontinental ballistic missile) and SLBMs (Submarine-launched ballistic missile) SALT II followed. It sought to limit the use of MITV. Even though the treaty was signed, it was never ratified by the United States Senate (because the Soviets invaded Afghanistan). It held up until its…

Wernher von Braun was born in Wirsitz, Germany, on March 23, 1912. Young von Braun took an interest in the science fiction of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, but it wasn't until he read the writings of the father of German rocketry, Hermann Oberth, that he applied himself to physics and mathematics, subjects he had previously struggled with in school. He enrolled at the Berlin Institute of Technology, where he would go on to earn a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering. As a student, he…

xplosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Bomb Technicians. Their job is to limit damage to people and property by rendering safe or disposing of unexploded, unfired or fired ordnance (Conventional, nuclear, chemical, biological, and radiological). They respond to IED’s, UXO’s (unexploded ordnance) from wars past, clear bombing ranges and much more. Composition C Composition C (C4) is the standard HE (high explosive) for the military. One block of M112 C4 weighs 1.25 pounds and has a TNT equivalent…

of anatomy and problem solving. There are different kinds of forensics, such as forensic ballistics, analyst, blood spatter, anthropology, wildlife, odontology, entomology, engineering, and a nurse. Those are a couple examples of different kinds of the forensics. To understand Forensic Science…

people. On a 13-day political and military standoff between the United States (U.S) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in October, there was so much tension that it alarmed the American people because they were afraid that the ballistic missiles that were deployed in Cuba could possibly damage two-thirds of their…

assassination of President Kennedy remains one of the country’s greatest conspiracy theories. The popular beliefs include the involvement of the mafia and a crime boss, the CIA being responsible for slaying the President. A different angle is taken when a ballistics expert claims the Secret Service was the culprit. President Kennedy’s death, was unfortunate, but it created a strong and undeniable conspiracy theory and arguably the greatest this country has ever…

Kennedy and his advisers were stunned to learn that the Soviet Union was installing nuclear – armed medium and intermediate – range ballistic missiles in Cuba. With these offensive weapons which represented a new and existential threat to America, Moscow significantly raised the ante in the nuclear rivalry in the superpowers. On October 22, President JFK with no other recourse, proclaimed…

which was created by John W. Mauchly as chief consultant and John Presper Eckrt as chief engineer. The idea was to create a compute for calculating artillery ballistic table with the setting used for different weapons under varies conditions for target accuracy. However before having the idea of creating ENIAC, there was already a Ballistic Research…

settled down in Alabama. Eight years after Margrit came his first son, Peter Constantine von Braun. Wernher von Braun’s younger brother, Mangus von Braun, was as well associated with german rocketry. Wernher called him to come work on his V-2 ballistic missile, since he was flight instructor and a chemical engineer. Wernher married his first cousin Maria von Quistorp in March of 1947. ( Nuefeld, 2008). Maria and Wernher got married in Landshut, Germany. Even though this was after the United…

Introduction The purpose of high performance training is to produce peak levels of muscle mass, strength, and power with the ability to transition these elements to speed and efficiency for a specific sport. Four types of performance training commonly used include: resistance, eccentric, isokinetic, and plyometric exercise (Joyce & Lewindon, 2014). These can be further categorized into aerobic or anaerobic power training strategies. These types of training will be the focus for strategies and…
