Father of Sputnik Calls for Global Space Cooperation
Russia's Leonid Sedov, dubbed the father of the Sputnik, urged international cooperation in future costly space programs during the 18th congress of the International Astronautical Federation. He noted interplanetary flights as a top priority, while NASA's Pickering suggested unmanned probes like Mariner and Voyager may suffice to decide on manned missions. The conference drew over 1,000 scientists from 29 nations, including 100 from the United States, amid U.S. expectations of more American presence and an apparent Soviet-US spacing dialogue.
