...then, the Soviets may be orbiting comparable bases of their own. Last week's Soyuz shots showed that the Russians are already capable of rapidly lofting the huge amounts of equipment required for building in space. For their space troika, the Soviets needed several firing and mission-control centers, a complex three-way communications setup and three separate launch pads. NASA officials confessed that the U.S. would be hard-pressed to match the Soviet feat, since it lacks such vast ground facilities...
...rest of the Soviet space effort has not gone as smoothly as Soyuz. U.S. officials, for example, are still awaiting the first successful flight of Russia's Nova-class booster, which is supposed to be nearly twice as powerful as Saturn 5 with its 75 million Ibs. of thrust; Nova's glitches, in fact, may well have cost the Russians the race to the moon. And there is no doubt that they find the loss embarrassing. Musing over the meaning of the Soyuz flights last week, a young Muscovite commented somewhat wistfully: "It's not much compared...
...findings stem from the spaceflight of a pigtail monkey named Bonny, who was launched on June 28 and brought back to earth after only eight of an intended thirty days of orbit. He died 12 hours after the recovery of his space capsule...
...Space scientists will release their findings in a news conference today and it is predicted that the experimenters will attribute the monkey's death largely to weightlessness. Such a report will probably step up pressuire to develop space capsules with artificial gravity for planned interplanetary flights...
There was one central point that all three of us tried to make during that interview. Since Hyland's report creatively omits any reference to that central point, let me use this space to fill in the gap.

According to your taste, you can try to pin a label on the Center by emphasizing the names of Bowie or MacEwen or Hoffman or Bowles or Huntington. All have taken shelter and sustenance from the Center. But if you tried to pin a common label...
