...visit. With the press of a button, the small, instrument-packed subsatellite will be automatically injected into an orbit around the moon. The tiny package should swing around the moon for more than a year, radioing vital data about the lunar environment. Then Worden was scheduled to climb out-side the spacecraft, edge his way back to SIM and retrieve his valuable film in history's first "walk"' in deep space 200,000 miles from earth. Finally, twelve days after the start of their journey from Cape Kennedy, the astronauts will splash down in the Pacific, ending man's most...
...trainee with only 21 hours' flying time on the F-86, he and his instructor, who was in a second jet, had been practicing formation turns. Neither Sabre jet had radar, and it was only at the last second that Ichikawa's instructor told him to climb and turn. Ichikawa recalled later: "I saw a civilian plane approach from the rear and felt a jolt in my tail." The young pilot was able to bail out safely. Both he and his instructor were being held by police on possible involuntary homicide charges...
...radio back scientific information about the moon's surface and environment for more than a year. Then, after they begin the long journey back to earth, Worden is scheduled to take man's first "walk" in deep space. With a TV camera trained on him, he will climb outside the ship while it is about 200,000 miles from earth and retrieve film cassettes from cameras in an open equipment bay of the service module...
...mountains. We make a triple meet, going into a siding at 15 m.p.h. to pass a loaded 84-car coal train that is so heavy it must stick to the main line; at same time an eastward freight sweeps by on the descending grade. After Victorville it is a climb of 1,106 ft. in 19 miles to the summit of Cajon Pass, eerily shrouded in fog. We crawl along, watching for signals looming out of murk, then creep down the steep slope, air brakes hissing, to San Bernardino. Suddenly all is neon lights, freeways, gas stations and palm trees...
UNABLE to run, climb or swing, most handicapped children can usually do little at a playground but watch wistfully as others enjoy themselves. But young patients at New York University Medical Center's Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine should now find their wheelchairs and crutches less hindrance to having fun. A new playground for them, and a model for other institutions like theirs, has been built with funds provided by the Office of Economic Opportunity. The 120-ft. by 40-ft. area contains an artificial waterfall under which the youngsters can walk or ride, a grassy knoll up which they...
