Structure and equipment are inevitably delicate, pushed to the peak of performance. The Russians have plenty of payload to play with. They can use rugged, dependable and comparatively heavy parts. Their spacecraft can afford the luxury of parallel electronic circuits, one ready to take over if the other fails. Many of the Russian achievements in space, including their accurate control systems, can be explained by the weight...

That brought the total of such areas in March to 101-fully two-thirds of all the nation's major industrial areas, and the highest such total on record. In the 1958 recession the peak was only 89 areas.
