...gaudy tour of Cocoa Beach, the community nearest Cape Canaveral, enraged the citizens of Cocoa Beach but showed the rest of the country the phenomena that spring up around the space age's launching pads: beatniks swinging as if hooked on liquid oxygen, splashy motels by the mile, a real estate agent selling outback lots for $1,595 an acre, a wiggly blonde singing in a nightspot about her A-O.K. flight in a rocket with her spaceman. Then he switched to Britain's cheap-jack sex-and-crime newspapers and an abrasively candid interview with Cecil...

...North American F-1 engines, is programed to put a three-man spacecraft called Apollo into orbit around the moon. In the meantime, the U.S. hopes to start landing instruments on the moon next year with an improved version of the Atlas missile; it will have a liquid hydrogen engine in its second stage, match the power of Russia's 1,000,000-lb. rockets. By 1967, the U.S. hopes to land men on the moon with the Nova, a rocket still under study that may end up being powered by clusters of F-1 engines...
...liquid salt, the AEC hopes, will prove an energy reservoir from which power can be extracted, probably by injecting water into the cavity and taking it out as high-pressure steam, capable of running a turbine. No one expects that the first small explosion (cost: $5,500,000) will yield power cheap enough to be economically competitive. Even if all the energy in the 5-kiloton Domb were recovered as electric power, it would cost nearly $1 per kwh. Conventional coal-fired power stations produce electricity for less than...
