...expeditions become more ambitious, so will their hardware. NASA is now improving the life-support systems in the lunar module to allow visits to the moon of up to three days by 1970. The agency is also developing more flexible space suits and designing a small rocket-propelled "lunar flyer...

...Loeb (if one is to trust their publicity flyer) selected Turgenev's A Month in the country for their summer repertory because of its "contemporary pertinence." In its concerns, in telling of the middle-aged Natalia's (Joanne Hamlin) love for her son's young tutor Beliaev (Christopher Reeve), the play deals with quite contemporary themes: with the dominance that those who are loved have over those who love them, with the illusive freedoms men surrender in a futile attempts to capture other freedoms they can never possess. But in tone, it is quite the opposite from the explicitness...

...modified so that the astronauts can remain on the moon for up to 72 hours. Apollo 11 's crew will remain only 22 hours, though their LM is designed for a maximum 48-hour stay. Later astronauts should have more mobility on the lunar surface. A "lunar flyer," a one-man rocket vehicle, will enable them to range up to six miles from the LM and scale cliffs 500 ft. high. Less advanced but coming along is a 750-lb. "lunar rover," a tracked vehicle with a range of up to 620 miles. Administrator Thomas Paine puts high priority...

...only take a flyer at what would happen if dexedrine ever came into much wider use than it already is now here. (For one thing there would be more illness because using it a couple of times in a row really wrecks you for days.) But there would probably be a good deal more frittering away of time. Students wouldn't "sweat" their work as they piled up real-life smelling, touching experiences in their new free time...

...they near ground level, crews must maneuver in darkness for all but the final 30 seconds before touchdown. The runway is really only a section of the road between Uli and Mgbidi that has been widened to 75 feet. "That's a nice wide road," comments one flyer, "but a damned narrow runway." Airplanes' wheels have no more than a 20-ft. margin on either side. Wingtips brush treetops, and to avoid running out of runway, pilots reverse their propellers and "stand" on their brakes. Not infrequently, an incoming pilot discovers that the control tower has blithely sent...
