The plan was this: If from the surface of the earth, by a gigantic pea-shooter, you could shoot a pea upward from Greenwich, aimed northward as well as upward; if you drove it so fast and far that when its power of ascent was exhausted, and it began to fall, it should clear the earth, and pass outside the North Pole; if you had given it sufficient power to get it half round the earth without touching, that pea would clear the...

Technol . and Space The main problems facing the United States space programs are social and political rather than technological Long range goals must be established for space, and the space program must provide bold and imaginative services which can be relevant in the everyday lives of citizens, as well as to business and government at all levels, using space systems that can pay their own way and attract private capital.
