At that, even such proposals as model cities and housing are unlikely to get the funds the President wants. He described his budget as a "tight" one, though it calls for an increase in outlays from $175.6 billion to $186 billion.* Most of the $10.4 billion increase will, in fact, go for defense costs and mandatory increases in such programs as social security, aid to farmers and veterans, Medicare...

This was accomplished spectacularly in four out of six shots; Surveyor's budget authorized seven. What to do with the last moon robot? As a sort of job-end bonus for a mission brilliantly accomplished, NASA left it up to a panel of lunar experts. They decided to gamble on an exploratory shot to one of the moon's unknown upland regions: the rock...
