Colonel Charles Mathison, member of the Discoverer II launching team. The two discussed the hunt with local...

Among far-out fields to be studied: microcircuitry (e.g., reducing the chassis of a satellite television unit to a few cubic inches) and electroluminescence (e.g., picturing all of a plane's instrument readings on a cockpit window so the pilot will not have to glance away even when landing or taking off). While moving farther into the wild blue yonder, he is also...
