Without any additional thrust, Apollo's own momentum and the weak lunar gravity would combine to carry it around the moon and fling it back toward earth in a spatial version of crack-the-whip. Indeed, if a recheck of systems and equipment convinces ground controllers and the astronauts that serious problems have developed, the crew will merely continue in this new course and travel back to earth. But if everything seems all right, Apollo's powerful SPS (service propulsion system) engine will be fired for 246 sec. to slow the spacecraft and allow it to be pulled...
...space placed around him, and by the way he is moved with relation to the frame. The more space Preminger has to work with, the more complex his films become, and Predictably, Preminger is a master if wide-screen cinematic technique. At best, Preminger creates a network of conflicting spatial relationships from the many people in his best-seller-based sagas, and his films work on a level far transcending the dramatic material.

Rosenberg's camera records too much excitement from too many angles. What could have been classic sequences are reduced to patchworks of confusion. The screenplay, by Donn Pearce and Frank R.

...slab of plastic Swiss cheese called Blue Dots by Noriyasu Fukushima have the same cleanness as Robert Morris' silvery series of knife-edged I-beams and Donald Judd's turquoise modular grids. All four works convey a feeling of openness and expansion, a common dedication to a spatial rhythm that can, in theory at least, be repeated to infinity...
...bills itself as "designed for the modern man," 17 courses are partly taught by computer. In Geography I, for example, the machine leads students through such questions as: "How does geography's focus differ from that of the other social sciences?" (Correct answer: "Geography is interested in the spatial impact of all categories of human behavior, whereas other disciplines tend to focus upon a single category.") If the student respends with any or all of the key phrases in the answer, the computer replies "good," or "excellent," and proceeds to the next question...
