it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n. | atlanta | country | united states <tsp> united states | ethnicgroup | asian americans | columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world. |

the atlas ii was a direct evolution of the atlas i, featuring longer first stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.it was designed to launch payloads into low earth orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit or geosynchronous orbit.sixty-three launches of the atlas ii, iia and iias models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.additional commercial and u.s. government sales resulted in production increases leading to greater than 60 vehicles being produced and launched.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.all launches were successful.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the two booster engines were the rs-56-oba variants (the complete assembly of both engines and the aft skirt was referred to as the ma-5a), with high thrust but moderate efficiency.the sustainer (center) engine was the rs-56-osa variant, featuring much less thrust but higher efficiency at high altitudes than the booster engines.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii. | atlas ii | countryorigin | united states <tsp> atlas ii | launchsite | vandenberg air force base | the atlas ii was a direct evolution of the atlas i, featuring longer first stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.sixty-three launches of the atlas ii, iia and iias models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii. |

it covers approximately 20% of earth's surface and about 29% of its water surface area.it is known to separate the 'old world' of africa, europe, and asia from the 'new world' of the americas in the european perception of the world.through its separation from africa, europe, and asia from the americas, the atlantic ocean has played a central role in the development of human society, globalization, and the histories of many nations.while the norse were the first known humans to cross the atlantic, it was the 1492 expedition of christopher columbus that proved to be the most consequential.columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.from the 16th to 19th centuries, the atlantic ocean was the center of both an eponymous slave trade and the columbian exchange while occasionally hosting naval battles.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world.the atlantic ocean occupies an elongated, s-shaped basin extending longitudinally between europe and africa to the east, and north and south america to the west.as one component of the interconnected world ocean, it is connected in the north to the arctic ocean, to the pacific ocean in the southwest, the indian ocean in the southeast, and the southern ocean in the south (other definitions describe the atlantic as extending southward to antarctica).the atlantic ocean is divided in two parts, by the equatorial counter current, with the north(ern) atlantic ocean and the south(ern) atlantic ocean split at about 8°n. | atlanta | country | united states <tsp> united states | ethnicgroup | native americans in the united states | columbus's expedition ushered in an age of exploration and colonization of the americas by european powers, most notably spain, france, portugal, and the united kingdom.such naval battles, as well as growing trade from regional american powers like the united states and brazil, both increased in degree during the 20th century, and while no major military conflicts took place in the atlantic in the present 21st century, the ocean remains a core component of trade across the world. |

he made three spacewalks as pilot of the 1966 gemini 12 mission.he was the lunar module eagle pilot on the 1969 apollo 11 mission and became the second person to walk on the moon after mission commander neil armstrong.born in glen ridge, new jersey, aldrin graduated third in the class of 1951 from the united states military academy at west point with a degree in mechanical engineering.he was commissioned into the united states air force and served as a jet fighter pilot during the korean war.he flew 66 combat missions and shot down two mig-15 aircraft.after earning a doctor of science degree in astronautics from the massachusetts institute of technology (mit), aldrin was selected as a member of nasa's astronaut group 3, making him the first astronaut with a doctoral degree.his doctoral thesis, line-of-sight guidance techniques for manned orbital rendezvous, earned him the nickname 'dr. rendezvous' from fellow astronauts.his first space flight was in 1966 on gemini 12, during which he spent over five hours on extravehicular activity.three years later, aldrin set foot on the moon at 03:15:16 on july 21, 1969 (utc), nineteen minutes after armstrong first touched the surface, while command module pilot michael collins remained in lunar orbit.a presbyterian elder, aldrin became the first person to hold a religious ceremony on the moon when he privately took communion.apollo 11 effectively proved u.s. victory in the space race by fulfilling a national goal proposed in 1961 by president john f. kennedy 'of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth' before the end of the decade.after leaving nasa in 1971, aldrin became commandant of the u.s. air force test pilot school.he retired from the air force in 1972, after 21 years of service. | buzz aldrin | birthplace | glen ridge new jersey <tsp> buzz aldrin | occupation | fighter pilot <tsp> buzz aldrin | birthdate | 1930-01-20 | born in glen ridge, new jersey, aldrin graduated third in the class of 1951 from the united states military academy at west point with a degree in mechanical engineering.after earning a doctor of science degree in astronautics from the massachusetts institute of technology (mit), aldrin was selected as a member of nasa's astronaut group 3, making him the first astronaut with a doctoral degree.three years later, aldrin set foot on the moon at 03:15:16 on july 21, 1969 (utc), nineteen minutes after armstrong first touched the surface, while command module pilot michael collins remained in lunar orbit.a presbyterian elder, aldrin became the first person to hold a religious ceremony on the moon when he privately took communion.after leaving nasa in 1971, aldrin became commandant of the u.s. air force test pilot school. |
the atlas ii was a direct evolution of the atlas i, featuring longer first stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.it was designed to launch payloads into low earth orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit or geosynchronous orbit.sixty-three launches of the atlas ii, iia and iias models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.additional commercial and u.s. government sales resulted in production increases leading to greater than 60 vehicles being produced and launched.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.all launches were successful.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the two booster engines were the rs-56-oba variants (the complete assembly of both engines and the aft skirt was referred to as the ma-5a), with high thrust but moderate efficiency.the sustainer (center) engine was the rs-56-osa variant, featuring much less thrust but higher efficiency at high altitudes than the booster engines.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii. | swishes | spilitic | fluoridization | no related information |

the atlas ii was a direct evolution of the atlas i, featuring longer first stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.it was designed to launch payloads into low earth orbit, geosynchronous transfer orbit or geosynchronous orbit.sixty-three launches of the atlas ii, iia and iias models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.additional commercial and u.s. government sales resulted in production increases leading to greater than 60 vehicles being produced and launched.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.all launches were successful.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the two booster engines were the rs-56-oba variants (the complete assembly of both engines and the aft skirt was referred to as the ma-5a), with high thrust but moderate efficiency.the sustainer (center) engine was the rs-56-osa variant, featuring much less thrust but higher efficiency at high altitudes than the booster engines.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii. | atlas ii | manufacturer | lockheed martin <tsp> atlas ii | launchsite | spaceport florida launch complex 36 | the atlas ii was a direct evolution of the atlas i, featuring longer first stage tanks, higher-performing engines, and the option for strap-on solid rocket boosters.sixty-three launches of the atlas ii, iia and iias models were carried out between 1991 and 2004; all sixty-three launches were successes, making the atlas ii a highly reliable space launch system.the atlas line was continued by the atlas iii, used between 2000 and 2005, and the atlas v which is still in use.atlas ii was developed from the atlas i and featured numerous upgrades over that vehicle.atlas ii was launched from launch complex 36 at cape canaveral space force station in florida as well as space launch complex 3e at vandenberg space force base in california.the increased thrust, engine efficiency, and propellant capacity enabled the vehicle to lift payloads of 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) into geostationary transfer orbit (gto), or more on later atlas ii variants.atlas ii also featured lower-cost electronics, an improved flight computer, and longer propellant tanks than its predecessor, atlas i.the stage was powered by 3 rs-56 rocket engines (derived from the rs-27 main engine of the delta ii rocket) burning 156 t (344,000 lb) of rp-1 and liquid oxygen.the vernier engines used on the first stage of the atlas i (and all previous atlas models) were replaced by a hydrazine-fueled roll control system on atlas ii. |
an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins. | a glastonbury romance | oclc number | 76798317 <tsp> a glastonbury romance | mediatype | print | the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins. |

an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins. | a glastonbury romance | author | john cowper powys <tsp> a glastonbury romance | publisher | the bodley head | an english edition published by john lane followed in 1933.it has 'nearly half-a-million words' and was described as 'probably the longest undivided novel in english'.it is the second of powys's wessex novels, along with wolf solent (1929), weymouth sands (1934) and maiden castle (1936).powys was an admirer of thomas hardy and these novels are set in somerset and dorset, parts of hardy's mythical wessex.the action occurs over roughly a year, and the first two chapters of a glastonbury romance take place in norfolk, where the late canon william crow's will is read, and the crow family learn that his secretary-valet john geard has inherited his wealth.also in norfolk, a romance begins between cousins, john and mary crow.however, after an important scene at the ancient monument of stonehenge, the rest of the action takes place in or near the somerset town of glastonbury, which is some ten miles north of the village of montacute.powys's father, the reverend charles francis powys (1843–1923), was parish priest of montacute from 1885 to 1918, and it was here that powys grew up.the grail legends associated with the town of glastonbury are of major importance in this novel, and welsh mythology has, for the first time, a significant role.the climax of volume 1 is geard's pageant, part of his plan to revive glastonbury as a place of religious pilgrimage.the pageant has three parts: 'arthurian scenes at the beginning', then a 'christmas 'passion play' ', followed by a final 'prehistoric portion'.however the pageant ends abruptly during the second part, when owen evans, who is enacting christ's death on the cross, collapses.in volume 2's final chapter, 'the flood', the sea invades the land, geard dies, and glastonbury becoming an island once again.the action begins in norfolk with the funeral canon william crow and the reading of his will, and where the romance between the cousins john and mary crow begins. |

he made three spacewalks as pilot of the 1966 gemini 12 mission.he was the lunar module eagle pilot on the 1969 apollo 11 mission and became the second person to walk on the moon after mission commander neil armstrong.born in glen ridge, new jersey, aldrin graduated third in the class of 1951 from the united states military academy at west point with a degree in mechanical engineering.he was commissioned into the united states air force and served as a jet fighter pilot during the korean war.he flew 66 combat missions and shot down two mig-15 aircraft.after earning a doctor of science degree in astronautics from the massachusetts institute of technology (mit), aldrin was selected as a member of nasa's astronaut group 3, making him the first astronaut with a doctoral degree.his doctoral thesis, line-of-sight guidance techniques for manned orbital rendezvous, earned him the nickname 'dr. rendezvous' from fellow astronauts.his first space flight was in 1966 on gemini 12, during which he spent over five hours on extravehicular activity.three years later, aldrin set foot on the moon at 03:15:16 on july 21, 1969 (utc), nineteen minutes after armstrong first touched the surface, while command module pilot michael collins remained in lunar orbit.a presbyterian elder, aldrin became the first person to hold a religious ceremony on the moon when he privately took communion.apollo 11 effectively proved u.s. victory in the space race by fulfilling a national goal proposed in 1961 by president john f. kennedy 'of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth' before the end of the decade.after leaving nasa in 1971, aldrin became commandant of the u.s. air force test pilot school.he retired from the air force in 1972, after 21 years of service. | buzz aldrin | was a crew member of | apollo 11 <tsp> buzz aldrin | was selected by nasa | 1963 <tsp> apollo 11 | operator | nasa | he was the lunar module eagle pilot on the 1969 apollo 11 mission and became the second person to walk on the moon after mission commander neil armstrong.born in glen ridge, new jersey, aldrin graduated third in the class of 1951 from the united states military academy at west point with a degree in mechanical engineering.after earning a doctor of science degree in astronautics from the massachusetts institute of technology (mit), aldrin was selected as a member of nasa's astronaut group 3, making him the first astronaut with a doctoral degree.three years later, aldrin set foot on the moon at 03:15:16 on july 21, 1969 (utc), nineteen minutes after armstrong first touched the surface, while command module pilot michael collins remained in lunar orbit.a presbyterian elder, aldrin became the first person to hold a religious ceremony on the moon when he privately took communion.apollo 11 effectively proved u.s. victory in the space race by fulfilling a national goal proposed in 1961 by president john f. kennedy 'of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth' before the end of the decade.after leaving nasa in 1971, aldrin became commandant of the u.s. air force test pilot school. |
