For years, San Francisco has been choking on traffic, despite a growing number of bridges and freeways. Forty-eight lanes of freeways now wind around the city, and 32 more are in the works.

In the future, says NASA, all its satellites will have sapphire windows; other necessary changes have not yet been determined. Though the problem is serious, NASA's experts think the new radiation will not affect manned U.S. satellite flights...
