Read the excerpt from Team Moon.

The heavier the spacecraft, the harder it is to launch. And fuel is heavy. So it was critical to pinpoint the fuel needed, add a cushion, then take no more than necessary. But now, because the landing was taking far longer than planned, the fuel was almost gone. Mission Control wanted Neil to take as much time as he needed and fly the LM as near empty as possible only because they wanted him to make the landing. But if he ran out of fuel above the surface, in all likelihood the LM would crash onto the moon. So they were trying to time it to the last possible second before calling an abort—calling off the landing.

Which detail from the excerpt identifies a solution?

they were trying to time it to the last possible second
they wanted him to make the landing
the fuel was almost gone
And fuel is heavy

Paul Ryan's Speech August 11, 2012, Norfolk, VA


The following excerpt is from the speech Paul Ryan made after being selected as Mitt Romney's running mate.


Mitt Romney is a leader with the skills, the background, and the character that our country needs at a crucial time in its history. Following four years of failed leadership, the hopes of our country, which have inspired the world, are growing dim; and they need someone to revive them. Governor Romney is the man for this moment; and he and I share one commitment: we will restore the dreams and greatness of this country. [. . .]


My dad died when I was young. He was a good and decent man. I still remember a couple of things he would say that have really stuck with me. "Son, you are either part of the problem or part of the solution."


Regrettably, President Obama has become part of the problem — and Mitt Romney is the solution.


The other thing my dad would say is that every generation of Americans leaves their children better off. That's the American legacy. Sadly, for the first time in our history, we are on a path which will undo that legacy. That is why we need new leadership to become part of the solution — new leadership to restore prosperity, economic growth, and jobs. It is our duty to save the American Dream for our children, and theirs. [. . .]


Let me say a word about the man Mitt Romney will replace. No one disputes President Obama inherited a difficult situation. And, in his first two years, with his party in complete control of Washington, he passed nearly every item on his agenda. But that didn't make things better. In fact, we find ourselves in a nation facing debt, doubt, and despair. Whatever the explanations, whatever the excuses, this is a record of failure.


President Obama, and too many like him in Washington, have refused to make difficult decisions because they are more worried about their next election than they are about the next generation. We might have been able to get away with that before, but not now. We're in a different, and dangerous, moment. We're running out of time — and we can't afford four more years of this.


Politicians from both parties have made empty promises which will soon become broken promises — with painful consequences — if we fail to act now.


I represent a part of America that includes inner cities, rural areas, suburbs, and factory towns. Over the years I have seen and heard from a lot from families, from those running small businesses, and from people who are in need. But what I have heard lately troubles me the most. There is something different in their voice and in their words. What I hear from them are diminished dreams, lowered expectations, uncertain futures.


I hear some people say that this is just "the new normal." High unemployment, declining incomes, and crushing debt is not a new normal. It's the result of misguided policies. And next January, our economy will begin a comeback with the Romney Plan for a Stronger Middle Class that will lead to more jobs and more take-home pay for working Americans. America is on the wrong track; but Mitt Romney and I will take the right steps, in the right time, to get us back on the right track. [. . .]


Janna and I tell Liza, Charlie, and Sam that America is a place where, if you work hard and play by the rules, you can get ahead. We Americans look at one another's success with pride, not resentment, because we know as more Americans work hard, take risks, and succeed, more people will prosper, our communities will benefit, and individual lives will be improved and uplifted.


But America is more than just a place — it's an idea. It's the only country founded on an idea. Our rights come from nature and God, not government. We promise equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. This idea is founded on the principles of liberty, freedom, free enterprise, self-determination, and government by consent of the governed. This idea is under assault. So, we have a critical decision to make as a nation. We are on an unsustainable path that is robbing America of our freedom and security. It doesn't have to be this way.

A Helping Hand? Media Mix: Education STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Achieve3000, August 2, 2017). The syringe slides in between the worker's thumb and index finger. With a click, a microchip is injected, and just like that, another on-the-job "cyborg" is created. This isn't taking place on the pages of a dystopian science fiction novel; this isn't The Giver, Brave New World, or Fahrenheit 451. It's happening at the real-life headquarters of Epicenter Stockholm, an office hub for startup companies in Sweden. Since January 2015, Epicenter has implanted willing workers with microchips that are about the size of grains of rice. The implanted chips work like swipe cards; they're used to open doors without inserting keys, operate printers without pushing buttons, and even purchase smoothies without reaching for credit cards. Completing these everyday tasks requires the mere wave of employees' microchipped hands. Having high-tech capabilities within human hands may be fascinating, but the idea isn't new. Such microchips are already often implanted in pets. They can be scanned to provide information if the animals are separated from their owners. Some companies use microchips to track deliveries. However, the technology has never been used to tag employees on a broad scale before. In fact, Epicenter is one of the first companies in the world to make chip implants broadly available in this way. As of April 2017, it had implanted about 150 workers. "The biggest benefit…is convenience," said Patrick Mesterton. Mesterton is Epicenter's cofounder and CEO. "It basically replaces a lot of things you have, other communication devices, whether [they] be credit cards or keys." As a demonstration, Mesterton unlocks a door by simply waving his hand near it. The magic that Mesterton seems to demonstrate is made possible by a type of technology known as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID). It's the same technology in contactless credit cards or smartphone payment apps. When activated by a reader a short distance away, a small amount of d
