...Moffet com pared this figure with the distance of the associated galaxy,* they got something of a shock. Some of the stronger pairs were emitting 4.4 times 10 ^44 ergs* per second in radio energy, an astonishing figure that represents more than 100 billion times the heat and light energy emitted...
...necessarily, Aerodynamicist Robert Brodsky told the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences in Manhattan last week. Spaceships, like ocean liners, said Dr. Brodsky, can carry lifeboats. When stowed on board, a Brodsky-designed lifeboat will be a cylinder of strong, heat-resistant plastic up to 1 yd. in diameter, 11 ft. long, and weighing about 1,000 lbs. Inside will be an airtight capsule large enough to hold one man lying face down. A crewman bailing out will crawl into the capsule and detach the lifeboat from the spaceship. As soon as it is clear, nitrogen gas from a pressure vessel...

Guidance apparatus will do most of the navigation and report to the passenger on the success of the perilous maneuver. Dr. Brodsky is confident that the plastic-faced wings can resist the heat of entry into the earth's air. As the paraglider gets deeper into the atmosphere, its speed will drop steadily. At last it will drift slowly near the earth, and the pilot, flying it like an old-fashioned glider, will be able to select a favorable spot on which to land...
