Dangers and hardships there were, and brave followings of the faint will-o'-the-wisp of faith in what lay beyond; but there were no great launchings into space. They but followed a line that was the continuance or projection of the line they had hitherto followed; what they did was brave and glorious, but it was reasonable.
He was aboard safe unless someone discovered him at the last second and threw him over. Now, with a fearful clattering, the last supports of the substructure were knocked away by lustily wielded sledge-hammers. The leader of the band, accustomed to launchings, held his baton aloft. At the downward stroke of that implement the band would crash out into "See, the Conquering Hero Comes!"
During the past year, our long-range striking power, unmatched today in manned bombers, has taken on new strength as the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile has entered the operational inventory. In fourteen recent test launchings, at ranges of over 5,000 miles, Atlas has been striking on an average within two miles of the target.
Everything about the launchings is reported in scientific publications! But, Steve, the Soviet Embassy was interested in buying the stuff!" Steve chuckled. "Sure, but not for a very high price, I suspect. The Reds are so suspicious they can't believe that a country like the United States can afford to give away data.
Subject: Cooperation and courtesy in rocket recovery vehicle launchings. The maintenance of discipline and efficiency requires that the commanding officer maintain overall control of all operations at all times. Hereafter when a space vehicle of any type is to be launched, the commanding officer will be notified in writing not less than one hour before such launching.
This is a much more comforting paternity than the various commercial launchings in proprietary formats that peppered the early 2000s. In July 1971, sending a 5K file to 100 people would have crashed the network of the time.
The scientists who actually use the instruments will also write a report on the data they obtained." "That's it," Steve agreed. "What's a little more puzzling is why the electronics expert didn't know. I suspect he has been concerned only with the design of telemetry equipment and not with any actual launchings or space experiments." "Maybe he did know," Scotty offered.
