Serious Question. Somewhat surprisingly, Mstislav V. Keldysh, president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, had little to say about the Soviet space spectacular at a press conference that took place while the docking was achieved. Instead, he commented on suggestions by the U.S., which has already performed manned dockings and plans to trigger off the maiden launching of giant Saturn 5 this week, that the two countries cooperate. "This is a very serious question," Keldysh said. "We have received no invitation, but I think this could be discussed...
...addition to the mellow overture, Keldysh insisted that "there will be no manned launchings before the holidays." But Western space officials were keenly aware that Cosmos 186 had probably solved the soft-landing problems that turned Soyuz 1 into a funeral pyre. And noting that the U.S.S.R. has reportedly asked India for permission to land a manned capsule on its territory in the future, they speculated at week's end that the eventual result of last week's rendezvous will be a circumlunar mission destined to end with a landing in-or near-India...
...years of drastic temperature changes and bombardment by meteors and solar particles. Inhospitable as it is, such a surface could probably bear the weight of both heavy space vehicles and men. The major obstacle remaining before man can fly to the moon, concluded Soviet Academy of Sciences President Mstislav Keldysh, "is the problem of returning a cosmonaut to earth. I think it is easier to solve the problem of a relatively short stay on the moon than to solve the problem of recovery...
...first charged that the U.S. was recklessly gambling with the lives of the spacemen on an ill-prepared mission. When it became clear that Gemini would succeed and lead the U.S. far along on its timetable for reaching the moon, the president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, Mstislav Keldysh, tried to deflate the news by proclaiming that nobody knows enough about the terrain of the moon to land there any time in the foreseeable future. Later, noting gravely that Gemini would pass 16 times over North Viet Nam, 40 times over Red China, eleven times over Cuba, the Soviet...
...Lysenko. The Soviet press blossomed with articles against him; it published columns of praise for his enemies and critics. Soviet genetic laboratories openly dared to use Western ideas and methods. Lysenko's departure last week was marked by a speech by Mathematician Mstislav V. Keldysh, president of the august Academy of Sciences. Said Keldysh: "The exclusive position held by Academician Lysenko must not continue. His theories must be submitted to free discussion and normal verification...
