Quite apart from the distress that I share in the failure to recognize the moral and psychological impact of this needless local action, I had wished to emphasize the unfortunate strategic consequence.

Advanced as the process sounds, it is already at the point of becoming routine and outdatedly slow-good enough for such bread-and-butter missions as re laying messages, photographing the moon, measuring micrometeoroid impact, sending space vehicles past Venus and Mars, monitoring radiation and watching the earth's weather. For the first manned Gemini mission, scientists have bred a new generation of fuels designated "hypergolic"-powerful liquids that explode on contact with one another but require no delicate refrigeration for storage...
