Apollo program reshapes southern crescent economy
Washington reports Project Apollo will spend about 2 billion dollars annually for eight years, boosting NASA work across Cape Canaveral, Huntsville, Houston and New Orleans. The expansion spurs housing, schools and sewage needs as 12,000 construction workers and 2,000 engineers migrate to Cape area, Michoud, and nearby communities, with New Orleans and Mississippi towns preparing for growth and job opportunities.

Pioneer's globes on display at National Geographic Society
Two 13 inch globes by James Wilson, early American globe maker, dating to the early 1800s, have been found in Chicago and placed in the Explorers Hall of the National Geographic Society’s new headquarters in Washington. The pair, celestial and terrestrial, depict constellations and Cook’s voyages, and reflect Wilson’s self taught craft.

Saturn destruct system on giant Saturn I tested at Marshall
In Huntsville Alabama technicians describe a built in destruct system for the Saturn I rocket. The ground button has been pushed twice in tests releasing water and creating ionospheric effects to study destruction of propellant loaded stages. Future designs aim to disperse propellants with less blast.

Pocket rocket story promises new propulsion era
CHICAGO reports a fire of quotes about a “pocket rocket” propulsion concept by Wendell F Moore. Moore claims a rocket belt could move infantry across canyons and rivers, aiding rescue and transport. Skeptics doubt the device but Moore says public laughter will fade as this pocket device nears reality.

Knowledge gained in space makes effort worthwhile
NASA consultant Dr Nelle Pace of UC Berkeley said space biology will justify the effort by revealing life in the cosmos, human adaptation to weightlessness, and safer, more comfortable spaceflight. He noted Laika's mission accelerated American space biology and outlined aims for a NASA life sciences program.

Red rocket substance heats British homes this winter
London report describes a ceramic based material developed for Soviet rocket use now adapted for block heaters in UK homes. William Westover, a British heats tech expert, notes the substance insulates like Russian knowledge suggests, offering a cheaper alternative to piped central heating. The composition remains undisclosed, but tests show high heat retention under sun and cold.

Reusable Saturn boosters eyed for space traffic relief
Huntsville Alabama two scientists at the Warshill Space Flight Center Spears and Rutard explore recoverable Saturn V boosters to handle rising earth to orbit traffic. They propose wings on Saturn V and larger boosters to fly back to Earth for reuse cutting costs of freight to orbiting stations over the next two decades.

Inner Space Crusade seeks more cabin space in cars
Washington figures led by Stephen Springarn and Sen Mechem urge auto makers to add three inches more head room and six inches more leg room in front seats. They accuse American cars of shrinking while drivers grow taller. In Pittsburgh an aluminum alloy for the Apollo rocket booster stage, designated 2219, is being prepared for space flight.
