...incoming hardware: a massive trophy established in his name to honor aerospace achievement. Besides delivering a retirement tribute to 41-year Veteran White (his successor: General Curtis E. LeMay), President Kennedy inspected the bronze statue of a mesomorphic figure hurling a rocket with one hand and snagging a nose cone with the other, quipped sadly: "He looks like he has a strong back...
...satellites. Heftiest part of the load (175 lbs.) was Transit IVA, latest of the Navy's navigation satellites, which looked like a bass drum spangled with bright solar cells and patches of white paint. Perched on top of it like the gobs of a three-scoop ice cream cone were a polished aluminum sphere, the Naval Research Laboratory's Greb III solar radiation satellite, and a smaller drum named Injun, built at Dr. James Van Allen's laboratory at the State University of Iowa. Boosted aloft by a Thor-Able-Star rocket, all three satellites soared into...

Auburn hair swirled into a massive cone above her head, her strapping (5 ft. 9 in., 180 Ibs.) figure dominating the stage, she swept through Beatrice's gothic intricacies with the ease of a nanny crooning a lullaby. Her voice was round, smooth and flexible, negotiating the score's chromatic difficulties with unfailing precision. Oddly enough, before any particularly difficult passage she seemed at her most relaxed and carefree; within seconds, she would take off on a high E, then ripple back eleven notes to a mellow A. Her complete, sunny ease caused one concertgoer...
...Force was so pleased with results of a series of tethered propulsion tests at Edwards Air Force Base that it decided last year to bypass the normal flight tests of components. The first Minuteman fired all three stages, put its brand new inertial guidance system, its nose cone and its flaring steering nozzles through the wringer in one bold gamble.* The stunning bull's-eye meant that the test program would be cut by months...
