Noyes first started thinking about bubbles last fall when he learned about Manhattan's Airform International Construction Corp. and its bubble houses-large, plastic balloons reinforced with wire mesh and sprayed with concrete, then deflated to leave a concrete shell. A few such houses were built in the U.S., Latin America, Africa and Pakistan, but they were bulky, unattractive affairs. Noyes asked Airform to let him take a crack at redesigning the concrete igloo...
...fish can supply the body's need for water without harm to the system. He also concluded that fish contain all the nutrients necessary to health except vitamin C, which can be obtained from plankton. Bombard saw no reason why a man equipped with fishing tackle and fine-mesh nets for gathering plankton could not obtain from the sea enough food and water to stay alive-and even healthy -for weeks at a time.

By the time the two task forces joined in Hawaii, they would be able to match and mesh their potentialities and plans.

At the altitude of 24.9 miles and the speed of 5,256 m.p.h., the first section will separate and return to earth, braked by a steel-mesh parachute and downward-firing rockets. The second section will carry on, its motors lifting the rocket to 39.8 miles and boosting its speed to 14,364 m.p.h. Then it too will drop off, leaving the final, manned section to blast itself upward alone, attaining the speed of 18,468 m.p.h...
