...moon, even the taciturn Armstrong could not contain his excitement. He could not, of course, have known about the gentle admonition made by his wife Janet as she watched the mission on TV: "Be descriptive now, Neil." Yet suddenly he began to bubble over with detailed descriptions and snap pictures with all the enthusiasm of the archetypal tourist. Houston had to remind him four times to quit clicking and get on with a task of higher priority: gathering a small "contingency" sample of lunar soil that would guarantee the return of at least some moon material if the mission...

A compelling answer to this argument is that third-rate or even tenth-rate writers must be protected if first-rate writers are to be free. Banning books and prosecuting...
...loose at escape velocities. Most such fragments captured by the earth's gravitational pull would be incinerated as they plunge through the atmosphere. But those in a certain size range, the scientists say, would drift down and arrive on earth relatively unscathed, safely delivering any organisms they might contain...
