"This is a very serious question," Keldysh said. "We have received no invitation, but I think this could be discussed...
This pushes Apollo to a critical launch-pad weight that is only 350 Ibs. under the Saturn 5's total lifting capacity for lunar missions. As a result, parts of Apollo's parachute system had to be enlarged or redesigned for safe landing at greater weight, and redundant systems on board have been eliminated for a weight reduction of 58 Ibs. Low hopes to peel 400 Ibs. more off Apollo by eliminating the spacecraft's lead ballast. So critical is the weight factor that even metal brackets inside Apollo are being examined for possible perforation to save...

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...
