CC News Letter 21 July- Deadly heat wave grips tens of millions in U.S., 6 deaths reported






Dear Friend,

The deadly heat wave gripping much of the U.S. has resulted at least 6 deaths, hit tens of millions of people, left tens of thousands of people in New York and Michigan without power, and caused the cancellation of many public events. As more than two-thirds of the U.S. feeling temperatures push into the triple digits the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration warned the heat can be a silent killer.

Lunar Narratives: Landing on the Moon, Politics and the Cold War
by Dr Binoy Kampmark


The moon project was a fundamental political poke, soaked by competitive drives.  The science was the instrumental ballast and has come to provide the heavy cosmetics to romanticise what is, at best, an effigy.  When President John F. Kennedy proclaimed his wish for the United States to land a man on the moon and safely return him by the end of the 1960s, he was google-eyed by Cold War syndrome.    The Soviets had been making advances in the space race, and paranoia at Red exploits was catching.  A godless state had launched the nerve wracking Sputnik in 1957 and in 1961 put Yuri Gagarin into space.
