Stran 9 - This provision accounts for the close ties that have always existed between the Academy and the Government, although the Academy is not a governmental agency. The National Research Council was established by the Academy in 1916, at the request of President Wilson to enable scientists generally to associate their efforts with those of the limited membership of the Academy in service to the nation, to society, and to science at home and abroad.
Stran 2 - In fact it has been the military quest for ultra long-range rockets that has provided man with new machinery so powerful that it can readily put satellites in orbit, and, before long, send instruments out to explore the moon and nearby planets. In this way, what was at first a purely military enterprise has opened up an exciting era of exploration that few men, even a decade ago, dreamed would come in this century.
Stran 38 - ... Sciences assume proper responsibility for education and training in the space-oriented life sciences through postgraduate fellowships, training grants to institutions, and shortterm visiting scientist appointments to be integrated with other NASA efforts in this area. 8. That the NASA life sciences program place special emphasis on the free exchange of scientific findings, information, and criticism among all scientists. 9. That security regulations be exercised with great caution and limited...
Stran 37 - ... responded with enthusiasm and good will to this new challenge. In spite of the apparent success of the arrangement, the fact remains that authority for insuring the health, safety, and effective functioning of the astronauts is not firmly in the hands of the agency responsible for the success of the project as a whole. The medical personnel were not selected by the NASA but by representatives of the military services which provided them on a loan basis for this particular task. Their continued...

Stran 55 - Subject steps 20 inches to a platform once every 2 seconds for 5 minutes to measure his physical fitness. Treadmill maximum workload : Subject walks at a constant rate on a moving platform which is elevated 1° each minute.
Stran 59 - Data from the Lovelace and WADC examinations were compiled and forwarded to the NASA Langley space flight activity, for the fourth and final step in the selection process. At Langley, a group representing both the medical and technical fields evaluated the previous examinations. The seven ultimately selected were chosen as a result of...
Stran 35 - ... flight. It is altogether fitting that these matters, both of which involve man's curiosity about himself and his environment in their broadest and most fundamental sense, should be placed in the hands of an agency broadly representative of society as a whole. The military agencies which have so soundly laid the groundwork for much of existing space technology must properly give primary attention to the development of weapons systems and the national defense. Although the military effort in astronautics...
Stran 22 - ... skin. More than 80 experiments of this type were carried out in all. Beischer and Fregly, op. cit., pp. 13-30. "See Wendell H. Stillwell, X-15 Research Results With a Selected Bibliography, NASA SP-60, 1965. CHAPTER III Pre-Mercury Heritage in Biotechnology UNTIL THE CONGRESS CLARIFIED SPACE ROLES and missions, the Department of Defense effort in missile and space affairs was variegated and geared for response to a potential military threat that had been presented by Sputnik — the demonstration...
