Gemini 10 became the first spaceship ever to use the fuel and propulsion system of another craft to power its own flight; it demonstrated the feasibility of refueling in space, a technique that promises to be a vital part of interplanetary travel to Mars and beyond. Gemini was also the...
Two Harvard scientists have found that the dark areas of Mars rise six to nine miles above the brighter deserts, contradicting the standard theory that Mars is an almost smooth planet.
Some of the space fledglings may be assigned to a NASA orbiting laboratory, which is planned for flights of as long as 30 to 90 days sometime in the 1970s. However, the group's 18 to 24 months of exhaustive training will be principally aimed at following up the...

McLuhan and others predict that both the wheel and the highway will be obsolete, giving way to hovercraft that ride on air. Planes carrying 1,000 passengers...
Cooper has let his imagination soar even farther. Using different radii and gravitational forces in his formulas, he has laid out the mathematical groundwork for extraterrestrial travel networks. According to his calculations, straight-line tunnel travel between any two surface locations would be 53 minutes on the moon, 49 on...
