...astronauts will leave a third item, the solar-wind experiment, on the lunar surface for only two hours or so. Soon after emerging from Eagle, they will place on the lunar surface a sheet of aluminum foil suspended from a stand. It will be exposed to the constant stream of particles expelled by the sun and should trap rare gases such as argon, krypton, xenon, neon and helium. Returned to earth in a vacuum box, the captive gases will be analyzed to give scientists new insights into the sun and the "wind" that it blows through the solar system...

The French or the Spanish would send a few ships-like Khrushchev sending his missiles halfway to Cuba-and another rising would fail, until a mood of fatalism set in and the old warlike mockery became heavily...
