World Wide 60 (NBC, 9:30-10:30 p.m.). Report from Outer Space includes, among others, T. Keith Glennan, head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and William Howells, Harvard anthropology professor. The program attempts to outline the why and wherefore of moon shots, deep space probes, weather satellites and astronauts...
Then down from the satellite over a TV channel came a picture of northeastern North America, spotted with white swirls of cloud. Fort Monmouth experts made hasty versions of the picture (which hurt its quality) and sent them to Washington by messenger. There Dr. Keith Glennan, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, took it to the White House and showed it to President Eisenhower...

Early next morning, Ike met for more than an hour with Civilian Space Boss T.

But the fact stands that civilians now in command of vital elements of the space program, notably NASA Administrator T. Keith Glennan and Pentagon Research Director York, do not have experience in the tough kind of getting-things-done that the occasion demands. One way to resolve the space tangle once and for all would be to set up a unified, civilian-military space organization similar to the World War II Manhattan District in which scientists such as Dr. Robert Oppenheimer developed...
