. Well, we did it.
We tossed into outer space
a satellite that makes the Rus
sian Sputniks look like peas
alongside a pumpkin. It
weighs a little better than
lour tons-8800 pounds, to be
exact.
It has all the modern im
provements, including a two
way wrist radio. We can talk
to it and it can talk back. It
has a robot that guides it-and
because of this robot, we are
led to believe, it hit the bulls
eye on the first try. That sug
gests the thought that if we
can throw four tons of satel
lite into outer space and
GUIDE it into orbit we can
guide an atomic block-buster
to Moscow.
All in all, we've proved to
the Russians that anything
they can do we can do better,
as Annie Oakley sings to
crack-shot Frank Butler in
"Annie Get Your Gun."
BUT
Having done it
Let's not get too cocky.
Everybody yearns to throw a
ripe tomato at a braggart. We
don't want ripe tomatoes
thrown at us. We want to be
admired. We want to be re
spected. We want to be
FEARED in the right places
. So let' saw wood and say
as little as possible.
OUR scientists have proved
themselves. They've come
through with the goods in
what was getting to be a
pinch. That's WONDERFUL
It restores our self confidence.
It yanks us out of what might
have been the beginning of
an inferiority complex.
- But let's not underestimate
Russia. And let's not OVER
estimate ourselves. We have
gome weak spots. Among oth
er things, we're tending to
think, in terms of how much
we can have in the way of
fun and hell-raising and how
LITTLE we can WORK.
We're becoming Increasingly
Impatient of DISCIPLINE.
The Russians aren't scorn
ful of work. They are a rigid
ly , disciplined people. We
don't admire them for that.
But all history shouts to us
the lesson of the EFFECTIVE
NESS of discipline. It was the
disciplined Roman legion that
conquered the world. Before
the Roman legion, the armies
were undisciplined mobs. The
lions changed all that. And,
in" their day they were invin
cible. .
They remained invincible
until the growing SOFTNESS
of the Roman people under
mined the discipline of the
legions.
That's worth remembering.
BUT . that's enough preach
ing. Let's get back to our
new and thrilling satellite.
It weighs, we are told, a lit
tle better than four tons
That's about the weight of an
average-size house trailer
.People LIVE in house trail
ers.
So, it follows, people may
be able to live in satellites
"and such out in space! Noth
ing seems to be impossible in
these days. .,
I1THAT good will that do?
" I don't know; But maybe
it can takes the minds of DES
POTS off the idea of trying
to conquer the world. Maybe,
by arousing their curiosity as
to what lies in the illimitable
reaches of outer space around
us, it may turn their thinking
away from war and conquest.
When all outer space beck
ons to the exploration that is
beginning" to seem like a pos
sibility, what by comparison
conquering a world that
now is no more important m
itself than one grain of sand
in a desert storm?
