...much a thinker as a manager, sophisticated Tom Jones can design airplanes, speak fluent Portuguese, pick his way knowledgeably among Burgundy vintages, and discourse easily on modern French paintings (which he collects) or the problems that man will run into on the moon. He is also a down-to-earth executive. Rising in just 5½ Years from a $15,000-a-year engineer to chief executive officer with a current annual income of $135,000.

Grumbling that the space race with Russia is a meaningless weight-lifting contest, they would rather spend money on schools or cancer research than on shooting the moon. The usual answer is that to be left behind in space is to risk survival. A secondary answer is that aerospace has already begun to pay unusual dividends, and promises more. Space probes in the last four years have taught scientists more about the nature of the universe than they...
