...more "sophisticated" missiles-marvels of engineering, but designed for earthly military tasks. Only in mid-1955, as part of the U.S.'s International Geophysical Year effort, did the U.S. at long last undertake its first serious satellite project, and even then the Eisenhower Administration, deciding to keep space research "peaceful" and separate from ballistic-missile programs, settled for sluggish, buggish Project Vanguard (TIME...
...Presidential Adviser James R. Killian down, have proved to be naysayers and quibblers, among other things stirring up a futile, irrelevant dispute over whether space is a "civilian" or "military" realm. Reflecting this dispute, U.S. space programs are split between two bureaucratic domains: the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency and the civilian-bossed National Aeronautics and Space Administration (see chart). On paper the division is clear and logical: ARPA, headed by sometime General Electric Executive Roy Johnson, oversees military projects (the Discoverer eye-in-the-sky program, a 1,000,000-lb.-thrust multi-chamber rocket engine...
...high tide of Protestant missions that once swept across the seas may seem to the unchurched an ebbing effort in a world of Communist persecution and colonial nationalism. But the tide is higher than ever, according to a new report by the Missionary Research Library. There are at least 10,000 more U.S. and Canadian Protestant missionaries at work around the world than there were in 1950, and the total figure of 25,058 is more than four times as large as at the turn of the century, when the ''missionary era" seemed at its height...
...program is roughly similar. A "soft" instrument landing on the moon may be accomplished in 1960. Putting a man in space will take longer. A protected capsule to bring him back alive is already under development. One of the preliminary research tools toward this project is the X-15 rocket-plane, which will meet its first tests in a month or so. It is designed to start its flights in the atmosphere, then shoot out of it to a probable height of 150 miles. Its descent on stubby wings will build experience for controlled returns from deeper space...
