...Producer Cedric Messina unwisely plunged ahead. His Juliet, Rebecca Saire, is 14 and acts it. Her voice is thin, and her range of expression sadly limited.

Perhaps so. But such assurances did not ease NASA'S embarrassment over the whole Skylab affair, which arose because of a scientific error about the extent of sunspot activity in the late 1970s and its effect on Skylab. By spewing out clouds of charged particles, these great solar magnetic storms help heat up and expand the earth's upper atmosphere.
