...last of the nine remaining Apollo missions is flown in 1972. The space team has already shrunk from 400,000 in 1966 to 140,000 today, and the group might be difficult to rebuild. "To continue to attract the kinds of people that made this program possible," says George Mueller, NASA's manned-spaceflight chief, "we must have challenging and interesting and rewarding things to accomplish...
Other men were almost as indispensable. Maxime A. Faget, director of engineering and development at Houston's Manned Spaceflight Center, designed Apollo's command and service module. Dr. George E. Mueller, NASA's top official for manned spaceflight, introduced a time-saving technique known as "all-up testing," in which all three rocket stages are tested together. Christopher Columbus Kraft, director of flight operations since 1961, and George Low, manager of the Apollo program, brought a sense of cool discipline to the nerve-racking operations in Houston...
Kawakami and Washauer put away Netter and Svigals, 7-5, 6-2, at second doubles to provide the sixth Harvard point, and at the meaningless third doubles, Gates and Mike Mueller dumped Oxford and Terrell...
...hasn't really had a stable singles ladder all spring so individual matchups are in question. But three veterans, senior Tim Greist and juniors Geoff Dyer and Jock McKernan, are almost positive bets to take up the first three spots in singles with senior captain Dave Burwell, senior Jon Mueller and junior Ed Cranch playing in the 4, 5, and 6 slots. Dyer and McKernan form the top doubles unit, with Burwell and sophomore Justin Stanley at number two. The third tandem changes from week to week...
...rebuttal, NASA's Mueller notes that man has three capabilities that no machine can match: "A very wideband set of sensors for acquiring information, a built-in memory and a computer better than our best machine, and a remarkably versatile capability for action and physical operations." Wernher Von Braun, the father of the German V-2 and a pioneer in the U.S. space effort, is blunter. "The space program is the first time we could keep the cutting edge of science and technology sharp without having a major war," he declares. "Goddammit, does it take another...
