...reports of the U.S.S.R.'s orbiting Cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov) to cancel a third planned suborbital ride. Thus only two apparent steps still remain before manned orbit: successfully launching an unmanned but human-dummied Mercury capsule into orbit (possibly this week), then orbiting a chimpanzee. The speedup could put an astronaut into orbit late this year...
...spending increase will be unevenly distributed. California, where the Pentagon places 24% of its procurement orders, will get better than a $1 billion lift. Long-depressed Detroit will be aided by the speedup in spending for trucks and tanks. The Boston area, headquarters for 80 Government space contractors as well as many other suppliers, will also gain.

As a result, the first battle-ready Polaris sub put to sea three years ahead of the original schedule (TIME, Nov. 28). With Russia ahead of the U.S. in land-based ballistic missiles, the U.S. would be facing a formidable weapons gap in the early 1960s had Polaris not been pushed...
