...critics of the space program point out that the potential of such techniques is often exaggerated. Nonetheless, many scientists are convinced that the fresh technical ideas that helped send man to the moon will ultimately make his material life far better on earth. Perhaps the most exciting promise, they say, is not in the technical achievements themselves, but in the mastery and management of the multiple skills that have produced them.

Reaction to penicillin injections cause an estimated 100 deaths annually in the U.S. What is most tragic about these deaths, say Kalman and his colleagues in citing a number of cases, is that the penicillin was injected for a sprained tee, an injured finger, and mild upper respiratory infections.
