From that height, it plunged back into the atmosphere and parachuted to a safe landing and recovery in the Pacific Ocean. Later, NASA reported the orbiting third stage mysteriously broke into "thousands of pieces...

...conviction that at least "half the time spent in executive conferences is unproductive," his $650 "Econometer" continually informs conferees of the rising amount of company treasure, in terms of salaries, expended as meetings go on and on. Programmed with the salaries of the participants, the device starts with the push of a button and, on a wall-mounted Scoreboard, flashes a minute-by-minute reckoning of the conference cost. The more and the mightier the brass, Lyngsø explains, "the more power is used, the faster the wheels run and the larger the bill becomes...
