...more than seven years, during 1,024 hours of successful space flight and thousands of ground tests in pure-oxygen atmospheres, NASA's reasoning seemed sound. There was no apparent need for conversion to a two-gas system-a conversion that would require the complete redesign of the spacecraft and could set the Apollo program back two years. But in 14 terrible seconds at Cape Kennedy, NASA's carefully considered decision has been thrown open to question...
...heat shield of the command module split wide open and the ship sank like a stone when it was dropped at high speed into a water tank. Certain kinds of fuel caused ruptures in attitude-control fuel tanks. The cooling system failed, causing a two-month delay for redesign. But all the bugs were eventually ironed out, as far as the experts knew, after arduous testing under every conceivable circumstance. Last week's test was billed as the ship's first full "plugs-out" operation- meaning that the craft was to rely solely on its own power system...
...world's first afterburning turbofan engines, has a revolutionary swing-wing-the sort envisioned in one of the designs for the nation's first commercial supersonic transport. The wing, which is crucial to the multipurpose role planned for the TFX, enables the plane, in effect, to redesign itself in flight. The plane sweeps back its wings in a dartlike configuration for supersonic flight, extends them to full span to slow itself for landing on aircraft carriers...

The new pay-as-you-go plan would not actually raise taxes, instead would increase the monthly amounts withheld from high-salary paychecks and speed up tax payments from large corporations...
