This is a very ambitious goal, and one which will surely not be reached in our lifetime. But it can provide a useful target, as a measure of the gap between Negro aspiration and achievement, of the task remaining to be done...

Belgium was a convenient alternative, but its government vetoed SHAPE'S suggestion that Brussels be the site. The capital, it seemed, had no desire to become a prime military target for Soviet missiles.

Two of the engines performed obediently, but the third refused to work. The resulting unbalanced thrust threw Surveyor into...

The movie footage and still shots released by NASA last week give an astronaut's clear-eyed view of everything from the weird undulations of the tether that briefly connected Gemini and the Agena target vehicle, to vast panoramas of the earth seen from altitudes never before attained...
