Kirk will leak the story that the Selective Service is going to draft all strikers and that seniors aren't going to get their diplomas. Don't stick your neck out. What you need now is an honorable withdrawal. Peace with honor, you know?" The veteran, who hadn't changed his clothes or slept more than 15 hours for a week, turned to leave. "Yeah, I know.

The effect, caused by the synchronous pulsing of all five first-stage F-1 engines at their natural resonant frequency, produced a vibrational force of three-tenths Gs during the first flight-enough to jar astronauts had they been aboard, but not enough to cause any serious difficulty. On the April shot, however, the Pogo Effect reached a force of seven-tenths...
