And all can do it with impunity, since he did it to himself...
Last week Dr. Eagleson told the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine about the improvisation and later improvements. The surfboard is made from two pieces of plywood hinged together and covered with foam rubber.

Sheathed in a Johnson-designed nylon heat shield for re-entry into the earth's atmosphere, the craft is equipped with a swivel-mounted retrorocket, attitude-control jets, a transponder for ground control, a built-in oxygen supply...
