Von Braun warns U S must keep space momentum or risk Sputnik repeat
Dr Werhner von Braun warned that if the United States loses space momentum the Soviet Union could again overtake in space. He cited Soviet launches in 1970 and a rising space station effort while urging sustained funding and broad scientific focus beyond moon landings. He argued aerospace expertise would fade with cuts and emphasized the shuttle program’s scientific value.

Von Braun promotes space station and steady funding plan
Von Braun argues a modular space station could lower future manned flight costs to 100 dollars per pound. He urges a steady five billion dollar annual space budget to fund a space shuttle, criticizes feast and famine cycles, and calls for clear SST criteria while allowing its development. He predicts Americans will fly supersonically across the Atlantic within years despite Senate opposition.

Launch Set Friday for Intelsat 4
Cape Kennedy UF1 The space agency decided to launch the Intelsat 4 communications satellite Friday night for Comsat Corp and its partner nations. The $13 million spacecraft will ride an Atlas Centaur rocket with a nose fairing similar to the failed November unit. NASA officials expect the fairing to separate properly after redesigns following the earlier observatory failure. The satellite promises several times the capacity of the most powerful current relay satellites.
