Some of the scientists at Denver thought that the first landings should be made by instruments to feel out the ground, but all agreed that only the alert and flexible human brain can do full justice to unexpected phenomena. Even on the nearby moon, the unexpected is to be expected. No one knows for sure what the actual surface is like...

The Russians have not told whether they got meteorological information from their Sputniks, but next spring U.S. satellites will carry into space at least two weather instruments. A team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin, led by Dr. Verner E. Suomi, is fashioning metal spheres two inches in diameter that will be carried by a satellite to measure radiation from both the sun and the earth. The U.S. Army Signal Corps is preparing a special photoelectric...
