Fifty miles above the earth at more than 3,500 m.p.h., America's needle-nosed X-15 barely ruffles the underskirts of space. U.S. and Soviet astronauts have ventured far higher, faster and for longer flights. But for Air Force Major Michael J. Adams, 37, riding the stub-winged X-15 rocket ship on its wild ten-minute flights beyond the atmosphere and back presented a greater challenge. He too had been chosen as an astronaut. Repeated slippage of the Manned Orbit ing Laboratory program left him impatient to get off the ground, and he asked...
Resembling giant stub-winged dragonflies, OGOs circle in polar and equatorial orbits at altitudes of 170 to 90,000 miles. So far, they have logged 500,000 hours studying near-earth environment and the sun's effects on it. OGOs have recorded cosmic rays, studied very low-frequency noise in the ionosphere and fluctuations of the earth's magnetic field...

Only after that is the new finger cut loose from its remaining abdominal attachment. Two to four months later still, Dr. Kalnberz does whatever cosmetic remodeling is necessary on the transplanted finger...
