To stimulate circulation, avoid kidney stones and prevent his joints from locking and his bones from decalcifying, he must somehow rise to a standing position for at least an hour a day, a dizzying feat that is aided at first with a special tilt-table. The patient is also faced with the distressing fact that he cannot control his bladder and bowels. Though he is taught automatic control, the adult must put up with what embarrasses the child: he is going...

When you speak of this disaster, you can hold your heads...
...Aviation Week, the Aerobee M solves the propulsion problem with five stages of solid-fuel rockets, starting with a cluster of four Aerojet Seniors, which were developed for the Navy's Polaris missile. The initial guidance problem is not solved at all. Instead of attempting the extremely difficult feat of steering the vehicle accurately during its quick spurt through the earth's atmosphere, Aerojet proposes to fire it from a launcher pointed in the general direction of the spot in space where it is expected to meet the moon...
