Sam Davis • Critical Essay by Elizabeth Howie
weep not for the future: the photographs of Sam Davis • Critical Essay by Elizabeth Howie Sam Davis’s work, in particular images from his portfolios Tragic Heroes, Rocketships, and Tin, consists of a variety of approaches to exploring our longstanding fascination with outer space. Utilizing such devices as pinhole, medium format and 4x5 cameras, as well as processing ranging from daguerreotypes to tintypes, silver gelatin, and Chromira C-prints, Davis shows us our memories, dreams, and fantasies about our hopes and fears of the universe around us. Tragic Heroes, consisting almost entirely of panoramic shots, brings us into the proximity of solitary moon-suit clad figures. They are reminiscent of spacemen of cinema and television, such as the 1939 Buck Rogers movie serial, the 1952 serial Commando Cody, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers of 1956, 1959’s When Worlds Collide, or the all-too-earnest space travelers of the original Star Trek, which ran from 1966-69. The gadgets and spacecraft (also made by Davis) evoke even earlier examples, such as ray-guns from the 1936 film Flash Gordon. The above classic early sci-fi vehicles utilized special effects, which now appear quite clunky, to try to demonstrate the wonders and threats of the future.[1] Despite their retro stylings, Davis’s heroes have arrived in that future, and strangely, things have not advanced all that much. But some things are definitely different. Countering the myth of the NASA astronaut as idealized he-man, someone who possesses “the right stuff,”[2] Davis’s figures—and perhaps" spacemen" is a better word than "astronauts," to suggest their relation to science fiction— demonstrate instead a kind of wistful vulnerability we would never have been permitted to observe in the Apollo age. -

Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not reflect the views of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI), Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Pogo in Liquid Fueled Rocket Motors The pogo phenomenon, or fuel pump inlet pressure fluctuation/ cavitation due to tuning feed line resonant frequencies was a major concern in the early space program. Pump tests showed that as inlet pressures were reduced toward cavitation, the pump started acting as an amplifier, causing large oscillations in the thrust chamber pressure. As the rocket engine thrust develops, liquid propellant is cyclically forced into the turbopump. This fluctuating fluid pressure is converted into an unintended and variable increase in engine thrust, with the net effect being longitudinal axis vibration that could result in spacecraft structural failure. -
