	Johnson RHJ-6 Adastra The Johnson RHJ-6 Adastra (English: ''Star'') was an American mid-wing, two-seat glider that was designed and constructed by Dick Johnson and first flown on 3 April 1960. Design and development The Adastra was conceived by Johnson as a two-place competition aircraft. He completed and flew it in 1960. The aircraft was of mixed construction. The fuselage was built from wood and was a monocoque design. The wing had a wooden structure, with fiberglass leading edge. The tail surfaces were constructed of wood. The wings aft of the leading edge, the tail surfaces and all control surfaces were covered with doped aircraft fabric. Originally the aircraft employed an Eppler 150 airfoil section, but Johnson later modified it by adding a 10% wing chord extension, turning the airfoil into an Eppler 151. Later new wings were built with an Eppler 414 airfoil to improve low-speed performance. The new wings used a foam-filled fiberglass leading edge. The tail was originally a "Y" tail, but t ...

	Proxima Centauri (short Story) "Proxima Centauri" is a science fiction short story by American writer Murray Leinster, originally published in the March 1935 issue of ''Astounding Stories''. Unusually for the time, the story adhered to the laws of physics as they were known by showing a starship that was limited by the speed of light and took several years to travel between the stars. In his comments on the story in '' Before the Golden Age'', Isaac Asimov thought that "Proxima Centauri" must have influenced Robert A. Heinlein's later story "Universe" and stated that it influenced his own ''Pebble in the Sky''. Plot summary Earth's first starship, the ''Adastra'', is approaching Proxima Centauri after a seven-year voyage. The voyage was marred by a mutiny among the crew, and the ship is still divided between a small group of officers that controls the ''Adastra'' and the remainder of the crew, whom the officers refer to disparagingly as Muts, short for mutineers. A young Mut, named Jack Gary, has been pickin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
