Air Force outlines plan for indefinite orbital space station
Air Force officials say development of a military orbital space station could begin soon and serve as a hub for a future space patrol. Lt. Gen. James Ferguson describes a two-man Gemini capsule ferrying supplies to the station, which could be boosted by Titan III rockets. The plan envisions a manned, self-sustaining platform visited from Earth amid broader space defense aims. Separately, Col. James W. Little announces sub orbital pilot training at 200000 feet instead of 50000.
