From Lowe to Gemini 11 a view of vast spaces
An editorial compares Thaddeus Lowe's May 1861 balloon view from the White House lawn to Gemini 11 astronauts observing from 850 miles up. It notes war era uses of aerial observation, peaceful aims of modern spaceflight, and advances such as mid space chores, satellite payload inspection, and looming laws on lunar activity, suggesting peace may follow exploration. The piece honors Professor Lowe's likely reaction to modern achievement.
