1960 was a monumentally busy and incredibly productive year for America’s dynamic new civilian space agency, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), which had been formally established just two years earlier. But the agency faced an uncertain future. With an election looming later that year, incumbent president Dwight D.

Radiation exposures to individuals in space can greatly exceed natural radiation exposure on Earth and possibly normal occupational radiation exposures as well. Consequently, procedures limiting exposures would be necessary. Limitations were proposed by the Radiobiological Advisory Panel of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council in ...

One of the most useful tasks to be carried out at the Space Station will be the making of large precision telescopes. It will become possible to assemble optics bigger than can be launched in one piece. A further step would be to take advantage of extraordinarily favorable conditions in space for testing and even manufacturing optics.

“The International Space Station is supposed to be like a three or four-star hotel compared to the old Mir space station. They say it’s a bit like going on a hardship camping trip where you’re really having to live a bit rough. We had blackouts occasionally when we didn’t have enough electrical energy in the batteries.
