...Richard Sloan, 34, a Caltech-educated physicist, was in charge of the scientific instruments aboard Mariner IV. Before joining JPL for the Ranger moon shot, he did basic research on low-temperature physics at Caltech. He believes man shows his nobility by action. Says Sloan: "Tears streamed down my face when Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile...
...Edward G. Gibson, 29, physicist and senior researcher at Philco's Applied Research Laboratories, has flown only as a passenger. Like his three colleagues who are not qualified to fly jets, he will undergo a 55-week training course that will eventually certify him as a jet pilot. He volunteered last year after his wife, at the breakfast table, read aloud a newspaper story about NASA's new interest in science-trained spacemen...
...Frank Curtis Michel, 31, a physicist and assistant professor of space sciences at Rice University, is an expert on solar winds. Although he had flown Air Force jet fighters for three years, his first application for the space program was rejected in 1963 because of insufficient flying time...
Henry D. Smyth, SC.D., physicist and member of Atomic Energy Commission from 1949 to 1954. It is to your unending credit that the domestic climate did not prevent you from being the sole commissioner to cast his vote in approval of the then-disputed loyalty of a fellow physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer...
Writing in Nature, Physicist Clyde Cowan of Catholic University of America, along with Geophysicist Chandra Atluri and Nobel Prizewinning Chemist Willard Libby of U.C.L.A., offer the most ingenious theory so far. After disposing of previous guesses (If it was a meteor, where is the crater? If it was a comet, why was it not seen approaching?), Libby & Co. suggest that what caused the big bang may well have been a hunk of antimatter that must have wandered into the solar system from some distant galaxy...
