The excess speed is added to the earth's orbital speed (66,600 m.p.h.) that the spaceship had before it was launched.

Atlanta registered sales 4% above 1957 (which merchants said was "incredible." because 1957 was 8% better than 1956). The biggest surprise of all was in New York. With the nine major newspapers shut down by a strike (see PRESS), department stores lost some mail- and phone-order business, and total sales were below anticipation, but they set new records.
