Explorer I could reach the moon with extra rocket motor
Scientists described a "Kick in the Apogee" plan to boost Explorer I by adding a fifth rocket stage to the nose, potentially sending the satellite toward the moon. The concept, explained by Henry Richter, involves placing the motor on the satellite’s nose rather than the Jupiter-C base, and would require permission from the Air Force to pursue.

Tunisia Crisis May End Dulles Vacation

Dulles may or may not attend the council session while U S officials seek to avoid a UN showdown and keep tensions from escalating. Bourguiba signaled willingness to accept U S mediation if Paris agrees, and Pineau indicated France would not renounce its veto or mediation efforts. The U S weighs responses amid reports of French air raids and continuing Algerian complications.

The government acknowledged that poisonous atomic dust could spread via an accident on any plane train or truck carrying nuclear weapons if conventional explosives were part of some devices but called the chance of a nuclear blast “negligible.” The joint statement notes weapons moved to storage for 12 years with few accidents and no blasts, despite reports of Air Force crashes involving nuclear-armed planes.
