...sense, McCarthy's investigation condemns his own branch of the Government. For when the Voice asked five hundred million dollars for its work, those Congressmen of vision who call themselves the economy bloc gave it seventy-five.

Rosen admits that chemical fuels, burned in a multi-stage rocket, can theoretically place a payload in a permanent orbit. But he points out that the Von Braun plan would expend more than 6,000 tons of fuel for each 36-ton payload. Even if the shuttle rockets survived more than one trip (Rosen thinks it unlikely), the carrying charge on each ton of payload would be fantastic...
