...need for the new bomber, and with that, AMSA gained new impetus. Already, $120 million has been spent for advanced research and development. However, under the terms of last week's agreement, the Air Force cannot go ahead with full development and procurement. First, there will be a design competition that will last at least two years and cost several hundred million dollars. By waiting for a successful design to be developed by industry, the Pentagon will be able to spread the costs over the two-year period without committing itself to any one company for production...
Acting NASA Administrator Thomas Paine believes that risks to Apollo 8's astronauts "will be within the normal hazards of test pilots flying experimental craft." The careful design, redesign and check-out of rockets and spacecraft, the policy of including duplicate systems wherever possible, and the logical, step-by-step progression of unmanned and manned Saturn and Apollo space shots, he says, "give us a great deal of assurance" about the moon flight...
...angle no greater than 7.4° nor less than 5.4°. Reentry at too steep an angle would cause too sudden a deceleration. The force on Apollo and its occupants could then exceed 20 g's, and friction with the atmosphere would heat the spacecraft far above its design limits. Says Lieut. General Samuel Phillips, Apollo program director: "There would be a structural breakup and loss of the spacecraft and the crew...
Although the design has not been finalized, general interior space allocations now include lecture halls for 600, 450, 150, and 100 people. All these halls would be outfitted with modern audio-visual equipment that present science rooms lack...
With a floor space of about 290,000 square feet, the Science Center will be larger than Holyoke Center. Jose L. Sert, Professor of Architecture and Dean of the Faculty of Design, will submit his preliminary designs for the Center in about a month. Sert also designed Holyoke Center
