...when glowing elliptical objects 200 ft. long hovered over highways, terrifying several motorists and causing their cars' ignition and lights to fail. A third apparently inexplicable case occurred off Trindade Isle, Brazil, during daylight on Jan. 16, 1958, when scientific personnel aboard a Brazilian navy ship spotted a Saturn-shaped UFO and photographed it four times...
...They Can Handle." With a current fleet of 25 jet planes, five turboprops and 160 older piston models, the supplemental are shedding their seat-of-the-pants image. One evidence is Wall Street's increasing interest. Nashville-based Capitol International Airways (1966 sales: $31 million) and Miami-based Saturn Airways (1966 sales: $27 million) both went public last month. Overseas National Airways (1966 sales: $11 million) plans to float a 470,000-share offering this week. Shares of Trans International Airlines (1966 revenue: $31 million) have jumped from $23 to $48 in the over-the-counter market since...
...Away. To save the earth, they decided, it would be necessary to launch a salvo of hydrogen bombs into the asteroid's path. To loft the warheads, the U.S. could rush to completion five Saturn 5 Apollo rockets now under construction and build four more from scratch. A second Saturn launch pad now under construction at Cape Kennedy should be completed, and a third could be built. The Atomic Energy Commission would be requested to assemble six 100-megaton H-bomb warheads, the minimum size necessary to attack Icarus effectively...
...ever going beyond airplanes and propellers, we'll probably have to go to rockets." Guggenheim, already a spirited benefactor of aeronautical progress, was convinced. During the 1930s, the Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation aided Goddard's work with $190,000 in grants, hardly enough to fuel a Saturn rocket today, but then enough to permit the Father of Modern Rocketry to build sophisticated systems that became the basis of America's postwar entry into the Space...
Aerospace's newest mammoth, McDonnell insists, could well prove to be a synergistic compound?a union in which one and one add up to more than two. McDonnell, for example, is building an "airlock" which astronauts hope to couple to a spent-but-orbiting Douglas-built Saturn rocket stage; spacemen would live aloft for a year in the airlock's safe, two-gas atmosphere. Now that Douglas and McDonnell can plan and build that equipment together, the job should become not only easier but more profitable?and the cross-pollination of ideas between two sets of engineers may lead...
