Contracts would run for two years, and the salary would be about $2100 a year. Round-trip plane costs would also be paid...
...last week, it was plain that Bob White should have bought a round-trip ticket. From Tribune Owner John Hay Whitney, presently U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, came an announcement: on Whitney's return from Britain next January, he will take over as president and publisher of the Trib. Said Whitney: "Mr. White has informed me of his desire to resign [his] offices, and his resignation has been regretfully accepted...
...concluded that since take-offs and landings are the most expensive part of every flight (heavy fuel consumption, airport fees, ground expenses), fares should not be calculated on a straight price-per-mile basis. Instead, statisticians worked out a new cost curve that drops as flights get longer. Thus, round-trip flights from Montreal to Vancouver, now $246, could be cut to as low as $182, while the $24 tab on the short Montreal-Toronto run should go up a few dollars...
...future, the tab will be considerably higher-but still astonishingly low. In a detailed cost analysis presented to last week's international space symposium in Stockholm, three Douglas Aircraft Co. engineers estimated that a scant $500 should one day cover basic costs of one passenger's round-trip transportation, by nuclear spaceship, to the moon. The price to Mars: $4,000 during a two-month "tourist season"-the period when the Red Planet's orbit brings it closest to the earth...
...analysis does not include "indirect costs" of operating a commercial space line-maintenance, administration, advertising, ticketing and profit-but its authors insist these charges should parallel standard airline operating expenses. All costs included, the estimated price of a round-trip ticket to the moon would be $900-about $40 less than the current first-class jet fare from New York to Paris and back...
