In a service that both appeals to Americans' democratic instincts and, as one parishioner put it, resembles "sitting around the holy table as in an apostolic age," clergy and even the bishop sit among the people, and laymen rise from their pews...
...last week's failure put an ignominious end to the $40 million hurried-up Atlas-Able lunar probe program. Rather than try again with Atlas-Able, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration last week called off future moon shots until next summer, when more powerful rockets are due to be available: the Centaur and Agena B which, atop the Atlas booster, will provide more efficient thrust in the upper stages, should be able to carry payloads of up to 700 lbs. to the moon.

...satellite's second purpose was to help determine the effects of outer-space radiation on future astronauts. Inside the recovered capsule were human bone marrow, blood cells and tissue from the underside of a human eyelid, as well as fungus spores and algae. After analysis, the results will be compared with similar materials which were recovered from Discoverer XVII, when it was snatched in mid-air last month...
