...THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIE (CBS, 9-11:15 p.m.). There's no doubt that Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis, Joey Bishop and fans had great fun back in 1960 making Ocean's Eleven, in which the clan goes clam digging in Vegas. But now that ebb's set in, it's pretty mucky...
...ungainly gadget carried no human passengers. But as it eased its complex cargo to a soft landing on the moon's Ocean of Storms last week, the U.S. spacecraft, Surveyor I, moved man himself closer than ever to a landing on his nearest planetary neighbor. In an exercise of textbook perfection, Surveyor settled down only a few miles from its planned target; its TV camera panned across the lunar landscape and high-quality pictures streamed back to earth. For a program that had languished for years in exasperating delay, expanding expenses and mounting criticism, the very first payoff...
...horizon that is believed to be either a crater rim or a low hill. A view of one of Surveyor's feet showed that its impact had dented the surface a few inches, indicating to some scientists that the site had the consistency of a terrestrial ocean beach...
...total to 24. So far, Secretary McNamara has turned a deaf ear to Air Force requests to develop an Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft. The Navy, strengthened by three additional nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the next few years, will have no powerful adversary on the surface of any ocean, but it faces a growing undersea threat from Russia's fleet of 430 submarines. It will concentrate much of its effort on learning to take on and eliminate this threat, partly by perfecting sensing devices and new weapons for anti-submarine warfare. It will also seek to increase its nuclear...
...Ocean-Liner Luxury. The 980-ft.-long propeller-driven ship would be larger than any dirigible ever built and have a useful lift of 300,000 Ibs. Even so, it could be propelled at more than 100 m.p.h. by reactor-powered turbines that deliver only 6,000 h.p.-compared with the more than 40,000 h.p. needed to power a Boeing 707 jet. Such a reactor is already available; together with its shielding and turbines, it would weigh about 120,000 Ibs., substantially less than the weight of fuel alone needed for a long journey by a conventionally powered airship...
