I thought you would suggest Titan rocket, or apollo.

Subject: Re: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Answer
Dave has asked me how Clumpy is going to get to Cyprus. Dave often throws
these logistical puzzles at me when they need to be done with style and
flair.
Cyprus of course, blends the very old world with the very new, as we have
seen from Brian's Christmas videos in the past. So, in that spirit,
Clumpy has constructed a large raft of papyrus reeds, in the same manner
as the epic explorer Thor Heyerdahl and his Ra II craft. Unfortunately,
with the present weather, tides and currents, it would take forever to get
there. Fortunately, Dave and I have one of our former coops (one of our
Minions) who now works for Rolls Royce Turbine Engines. She has sent us
one jet engine and two Jet Assist Take Off (JATO) rockets. Clumpy should
be to Cyprus shortly.

[TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz - the Answer
Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
This element has two allotropic phases - one is an FCC structure and one
is a HCP structure. This element plays a critical role as an alloying
element in a wide range of metal alloys, cermets and protective
coatings. This element has only one stable isotope which finds use in food
sterilization and medical radiotherapy. Nearly 6 billion tons of this
element are estimated to exist on the world's seafloor but are not
economically recoverable at today's metal prices. What element is being
described?
Bonus question: In what year was this element's oxide first reduced to
produce the pure element?
The Answer:
The element is Cobalt (Co). Cobalt is a very important element in terms of
an alloying constituent in steel, superalloys, and ceramics. About 40% of
the world Cobalt production is used to produce Co compounds for
decolorizing and colorizing glass, potter, paint, ink and as additives to
rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Early computer disks used Fe2O3 particles
dispersed in an epoxy phenolic resin as the magnetic recording media.
These disks worked well for moderate data storage densities. However,
higher storage densities require thin film rather than particles. Cobalt
based thin film compositions such as Co-Pt-B or Co-Cr-Ta are used in those
applications.
The winner of this week's quiz is Brian Ellis so Clumpy will be packing
the John Deere and heading to Cyprus. Bev Christian correctly answered
the bonus question - the year was 1735.
So far Clumpy has:
Week 1 Lamar Young, SCS Coatings
