Transcription & mark-up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
“The ultimate goal of space travel is sometimes cited as justification for the missiles race. Anyone who believes this belongs on a psychoanalyst’s couch. Since the intensity, duration, spatial distribution and frequency of radiation bursts are only now being investigated, it is by no means cer-tain that man can venture into inter-planetary space and survive. And if it should prove feasible, what’s the hurry? An effective therapy for cardiovascular disease alone would be worth far more to the human race than a few fledgling astronauts setting foot on the moon.”
— Carl Dreher in the Dec. 13 Nation
