Supersonic Plane Race Heats Up With US Spark
The United States aims to field a Mach 3 plus airliner by 1969 to 1972, aided by Kennedy's push and Pan Am ordering six supersonic jets. Britain and France pool funds for the Concorde at about 1,500 mph, with delays over materials and heat. United States officials and industry respond with cautious optimism and questions about costs and technology.

Believe US Could Reach Mars In'75
Industrial space technologist Andrew Kalitinsky of General Dynamics, San Diego, presented a government study on NOVA launch vehicles proposing a Mars expedition by 1975. The concept envisions a convoy of four multiton spaceships lifted by rockets up to 380 feet tall weighing nearly 40 million pounds with payload capacity exceeding a million pounds per lift.

NOVA concept eyed as practical Mars mission hardware
Nova has long been a concept in space engineering. Seen as a potential manned mission system, it would require a rocket rivaling or surpassing Saturn V. Kallinsky reported at a Mars exploration symposium that his firm and the Martin-Marietta Corp of Baltimore have developed promising design configurations for practical hardware in a relatively short time if needed.
