...companions of 28 days under zero gravity. The crew will also try to learn how vacuum and weightlessness affect certain manufacturing processes. These include electron beam welding and the use of molten substances to fabricate extra-strong materials and perfectly round ball bearings. The astronauts' 10,000-cu.-ft. living space will feature a wardroom for relaxation, a microwave oven, a "sponge shower" with a vacuum cleaner to get rid of wastes, and even a forced-air toilet. Both the second and third missions will keep crews in orbit for 56 days. In the third, an orbiting observatory will...
...similar suicidal attack penetrated the defense perimeter of the 25th U.S. Division headquarters at Cu Chi, northwest of Saigon. In that charge about 50 sappers managed to sneak through ten defensive rings of wire, then sprinted down a flight line and destroyed nine helicopters with satchel charges.

To produce the detected radiation, they calculated, the temperature of the gas would have to be 1,400,000° F. and its density only one atom of hydrogen in every 3.5 cu. ft. of space. But even at this low density, says Astrophysicist Henry, the hydrogen gas would constitute 100 times as much matter as there is in all of the galaxies combined and thus solve the mystery of the universe's missing mass...
