Scientists prove they are people at space seminar
Scientists are people. In a nuclear space seminar, experts like Dr Edward Teller Dr Zwedek Kopal and Dr Ralph Overman mix humor with insight. Teller warns weather could vanish as a safe topic of conversation if world wide forecasting advances. Kopal admires the Manchester skies and notes climate contrasts. Overman likens the Panhandle to the atom and quips about isotopes. Goodman discusses space reactor tests and a rocket engine uses more oxygen than a third of US residents breathe. Teller recalls a Gnome blast plume and hints at Project Moses. He predicts light speed as ultimate limit, likely centuries away. Kopal ends with a poet’s eye starry remark.

Mariner 2 Mission Sees Trajectory Correctable for Venus Flyby
Cape Canaveral reports Mariner 2, America’s 447-pound space probe, is on a salvageable course after tracking shows only 250000 miles off target instead of 600000. The craft can correct to within 10000 miles of Venus, enabling the first closeup study and potential evidence on life questions. The mission aims for a 180 million mile voyage with a 57 pound motor to fix the path.

West presses partial or complete nuclear test ban
At the 17 nation disarmament conference in Geneva the United States and Britain pushed two drafts a partial ban on atmospheric underwater and outer space tests and a second draft for a complete ban with international checks on underground tests. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Kuznetsov rejected both plans as unacceptable while agreeing to study them. The move aims to salvage talks before a Sept 8 recess as the Uppsala Observatory reports another blast.

Soviet atmospheric tests spark call for partial nuclear ban
The report cites Novaya Zemlya tests with an estimated magnitude of 14 megatons, the eighth in a Soviet sequence. The U S AEC notes the intensity and argues a moratorium without a treaty. Kennedy and Macmillan favor a complete ban but see a partial ban as necessary after three years of test suspensions.
