...first Apollo flights, the beginnings of the actual moon program. It was being assembled within a huge gantry. A mechanic, crawling around the first-stage motor, stopped to explain. The engine consisted of eight Redstone motors in a circle around a Jupiter hull that served as a fuel tank...
...Americans were outdoors on a bright Saturday afternoon, driving in the country or Christmas shopping. Millions who stayed in were glued to football games on TV. They missed a fascinating launch. Rain threatened to scrub the mission until 31 hours before blastoff. A minor pressure loss in a fuel cell soon after the capsule achieved orbit was quickly remedied by switching pressure from the breathing oxygen tank to the fuel-cell oxygen tank. And in the first minutes of Gemini 7's flight, Borman and Lovell, both 37 and both making their first space journeys, succeeded in a drill...
Nasution and the Army Chief of Staff General Suharto are carrying their struggle to reorganize the nation beyond the mere killing of Reds.

Agents hustled off to other Southeast Asian nations in search of rice for the food-short nation. Wages must still be brought up to meaningful levels, but that much-needed...
...hydrogen fuel also promises to pay an extra dividend. To be kept in liquid form, it must be stored in refrigerated tanks at a temperature of - 423 °F. And since a plane moving at scramjet speeds will be seared by the heat of friction as it moves through the atmosphere, the frigid hydrogen will make an ideal coolant to be pumped through the skin of wings and fuselage before it is burned...

Like many another manufacturing mammoth, the company overreached itself in a scramble to diversify a few years ago, found its profits dwindling as its debts increased. Olin is still pretty diversified-its 4,500 products include antifreeze, shotguns, rocket fuel, electric toothbrushes and paper for Bibles-but it has learned how to make its money stretch further. It is busy tidying up its corporate house, notably with an ambitious threeyear, $230 million plant expansion and modernization program aimed at wresting economies from its ability to do things...
