1.

Kiseev. 2. Russian rockets can be launched anywhere, anytime even on winter night. Russian spacecraft built horizontally then stood up, cuts prelaunch preparation to 8hours. American rockets built standing, rolling them out for takeoff requires days. 3. USSR drilled holes in fighter pilot's helmet. Wo/ holes, helmet tends to act like an airfoil when pilot ejects which severs head from body. ouch. 4. Lithium electrolyte, solid wafer form of element for lithium batteries. 5. Titanium technology. 6. /*---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ --fin
