Blips emerge from the back of one satellite and it starts to describe an ellipse. "Then you have torpedoes." He turns his spaceship, fires an arrow-shaped blip and the other ship disappears. Space War has an infinity of variations. "There is always the final escape--you can send yourself into Hyperspace." Arny's ship disappears in a flash of light.

Antic Hell. Imagine the two codgers' surprise when Joan of Arc (Nancy Snyder) arrives in blazing armor with sword and pennant at the ready.

The agency is assembling the first reusable spaceship, and has begun to train astronauts to fly the new space shuttle, which will be ready to go into orbit...
...notion that the whole will somehow take care of itself if the parts are looked after is no longer valid. Instead, there is a growing acceptance of "holism," a new consciousness of the interrelation of all things.
