Molly's men began work right after a tall Titan booster had tossed them into an elliptical orbit 139.2 miles at apogee, 100.1 miles at perigee. There was a pair of biological experiments to get out of the way: the fertility and growth of sea-urchin eggs had to be checked for the effects of weightlessness; human blood cells were exposed to the stress of radiation plus weightlessness. Then, as the Molly Brown curved round the bottom of the globe and came up across the Pacific toward the American coast, Gus Grissom got ready for the first orbital change...
Having "proved" behavior deterministic, Loeb moved on to fertilization, for he found that vitalists (who opposed mechanists) were always using the mystery of the process of fertilization to slip a soul into animals.

For this work he gained world renown. Professor Fleming's introduction recounts that maiden ladies stopped bathing at the sea shore for fear of what the water might do to them; barren couples earnestly entreated Loeb...
