For ia ismall inumber, ithe idisease iis inot idetected iuntil iage i 18 ior iolder. iThese ichildren ioften ihave ia imilder iform iof ithe idisease.
Although imost ipeople ithought ia ibridge iwas inecessary ito iexpedite itravel, isome iresidents iof ithe iBay iarea ifelt ithe irisk iof ibuilding ithe ibridge iwas itoo igreat. iJoseph iStrauss ibelieved ithat inothing iwas iimpossible, iand idreams iwould inever icome ito ifruition iif irisks iweren’t itaken. iSo, ihe idecided ito igather ithe ibest iand ibrightest ibuilders, iarchitects, iand iworkers ito iembark ion ithe ichallenge iof ibuilding ia ibridge iacross ithe iGolden iGate iStrait. iWith isafety inets iin iplace, ithe iconstruction ibegan iin i1937. iBuilding ithe ianchorages ifirst, ithe ibuilders ithen imove ion ito ithe itowers ion ieach iend, iand ithen ito ithe ithree-foot ithick icables ito isupport ithe isuspension ibridge. iLastly, iworkers ilabored ito icomplete ithe iroadway iwhich ibecome ithe imost idangerous iand itreacherous ipart iof ithe ientire itask. iThe ibuilders ihad ito ikeep ithe ibridge ibalance, iso iit iwouldn’t ifall iinto ithe ibay. iToday, iover isixty- ifive iyears ilater, ithe ibridge iremains ia ilifeline ifor ithe ipeople iof ithe iSan iFrancisco iBay iArea. The iauthors’ireason ifor iwriting ithis ipiece iseems ito ibe ito Inform ithe ireader What ibody iof iwater idoes iThe iGolden iGate iBridge icross? Golden iGate iStrait Why iwas ithe iroadway iso idangerous ito ibuild? If ithe iroad iwasn’t ibalanced, iit iwould icollapse In ithe ipassage ithe iword iembark imeans ito Begin ian iundertaking, istart Which ipart iof ithe ibridge iwas ibuilt ifirst?

A iroadway The iMoon ihas ibeen iworshipped iby iprimitive ipeoples iand ihas iinspired ihumans ito icreate ieverything ifrom ilunar icalendars ito ilove isonnets, ibut iwhat ido iwe ireally iknow iabout iit? iThe imost iaccepted itheory iabout ithe iorigin iof ithe iMoon iis ithat iit iwas iformed iof ithe idebris ifrom ia imassive icollision iwith ithe iyoung iEarth iabout i4.6 ibillion iyears iago. iA ihuge ibody, iperhaps ithe isize iof iMars, istruck ithe iEarth, ithrowing iout ian iimmense iamount iof idebris ithat icoalesced iand icooled iin iorbit iaround ithe iEarth. The idevelopment iof iEarth iis iinextricably ilinked ito ithe imoon; ithe iMoon’s igravitational iinfluence iupon ithe iEarth iis ithe iprimary icause iof iocean itides. iIn ifact, ithe iMoon ihas imore ithan itwice ithe ieffect iupon ithe itides ithan idoes ithe iSun. iThe iMoon imakes ione irotation iand icompletes ia irevolution iaround ithe iEarth ievery i 27 idays, i 7 ihours, iand i 43 iminutes. iThis isynchronous irotation iisicaused iby ian iuneven idistribution iof imass iin ithe iMoon i(essentially, iit iis iheavier ion ione iside ithan ithe iother) iand ihas iallowed ithe iEarth’s igravity ito ikeep ione iside iof ithe iMoon ipermanently ifacing iEarth. iIt iis ian iaverage idistance ifrom iEarth iof i384,403 ikm. The iMoon ihas ino iatmosphere; iwithout ian iatmosphere, ithe iMoon ihas inothing ito iprotect iit ifrom imeteorite iimpacts, iand ithus ithe isurface iof ithe iMoon iis icovered iwith iimpact icraters, iboth ilarge iand ismall. iThe iMoon ialso ihas ino iactive itectonic ior ivolcanic iactivity, iso ithe ierosive ieffects iof iatmospheric iweathering, itectonic ishifts, iand ivolcanic iupheavals ithat itend ito ierase iand ireform ithe iEarth’s isurface ifeatures iare inot iat iwork ion ithe iMoon. iIn ifact, ieven itiny isurface ifeatures isuch ias ithe ifootprint ileft iby ian iastronaut iin ithe ilunar isoil iare ilikely ito ilast ifor imillions iof iyears, iunless iobliterated iby ia ichance imeteorite istrike. iThe isurface igravity iof ithe iMoon iis iabout ione-sixth ithat iof ithe iEarth’s. iTherefore, ia iman iweighing i 82 ikilograms ion iEarth iwould ionly iweigh i 14 ikilograms ion ithe iMoon. The igeographical ifeatures iof ithe iEarth imost ilike ithat iof ithe iMoon iare, iin ifact, iplaces isuch ias ithe iHawaiian ivolcanic icraters iand ithe ihuge imeteor icrater iin iArizona. iThe iclimate iof ithe iMoon iis ivery iunlike ieither iHawaii ior iArizona, ihowever; iin ifact ithe itemperature ion ithe iMoon iranges ibetween i 123 idegrees iC. ito i– 233 idegrees iC.
