Like everybody else who has seen them play this year, Gill was mightily impressed with his new teammates. "They really...
...rocket in 1975. Time is already beginning to run out for some of the scientific teams so painstakingly assembled for the U.S. space program. On the day that Saturn 5 made its successful flight (TIME, Nov. 17), 700 NASA employees who had helped build the giant rocket were laid off at the Marshall Space Flight Center. They were victims of budgetary cuts in the Apollo Applications Program, which will use hardware left over from the Apollo flights for a variety of earth-orbital missions...
