Radiation tests of the extravehicular mobility unit space suit for the international space station using energetic protons

“…The 250 and 155 MeV beams are expected to have nozzle energies of about 223 and 136 MeV, respectively (Moyers, 2002). The differences between extracted and nozzle energies are due to energy lost in the Pb scattering foils and beam monitoring hardware near the end of the vacuum line.…”

“…Thoughtful people understand that the behavior of terrorists has little to do with the teachings of the prophet. Al Hibri (Moyers & Ganguzza, 2002) pointed out that Islamic terrorists and those in the West who would like to demonize Islam as a violent religion often refer to a line in the Koran that does say, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

“…Most religious texts have internal inconsistencies that are a function of ambiguities in translation over time, manipulation by political leaders who sought to use those texts for their own political advantage and gain, and a part of the mystery and transcendence of faith. Al Hibri (Moyers & Ganguzza, 2002) argued that the ultimate congruence of those inconsistencies is based on a leap not of fact but of faith that the contradictions will be reconciled with increased spiritual awareness, most often considered a lifelong goal.…”
