...lunar material and return it to earth, or 3) the launch of major components of a manned orbiting platform. But the accident delayed further tests of the rocket. The lofting of three manned Soyuz shots last month, for example, apparently fell short of its goal. Two of the craft were equipped with docking collars, but failed to link up. Why? According to Aviation Week & Space Technology, a major component of the planned space station-its large central core-never got off the ground. Reason: no super rockets were available to launch...
...Apollo 12's target, Intrepid must set down just east of the Surveyor Crater's edge. Conrad will probably not be able to see the Surveyor as he swoops down, for the craft will be in the deep shadow of early lunar morning. But he should have little difficulty spotting the Surveyor Crater. It forms the torso of what astronauts call the "Snowman," a distinctive cluster of five adjacent craters...
...Huge and highly advanced amphibious landing craft, each equipped with a below-deck unloading ramp and a helicopter flight deck, will be built by Litton Industries' Ingalls division at Pascagoula, Miss. Last May the company signed a $1 billion contract for nine vessels. Costs have already escalated, largely because of design changes. The first ship alone will cost $185 million, compared with the $143 million appropriated for it last year...
...Assault ships, designed to launch landing craft and helicopters, are being built at Lockheed's Seattle yard. The seven ships were priced at $25 million each when the contract was signed in 1963. There have been many design changes, late delivery of gear, and the usual toll of inflation. Lockheed has not yet submitted its claim for what promises to be a large overrun, and the Navy is keeping its own estimate secret-while budgeting for the assault ships in its total overrun account...
...issue of painters' helper, like many other issues in the past, is far more complex than members of SDS would like to think. This issue concerns the speckle skills involved in the craft, mechanization and its effect on the craft, and-the resultant effect on wages, and finally the collective bargaining procedures involved in bringing about changes in hiring and promotion practices. SDS will not allow, however, for the existence of these complexities. Nor will they wait for labor negotiations to take place during the first week in December. As usual, the issue must be settled Now even...
