8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medferd, Or. Thursday, Jan. 7, 1960 Mars Expedition Slated for Wsr Report Experts Santa Monica, Calif. - (Sci ence Service) - The U. S. will be able to send three men on a 14-month expedition to Mars in a nuclear-powered 2-stage rocket ship during the 1960's, three space experts here assert. The rocket ship would go into orbit around Mars, and the exploring party would use a chemically propelled taxi to 2o down for a close look at the Maritian landscape. Af ter exploring for two months the party would refuel their orbiting space ship and head back to earth. Launch Supplies First Tanks of hydrogen, for re fueling purposes, would be launched about a month earli er than the manned ship to make certain they are on course and that the hydrogen will be available on Mars. These tanks, taking a slower easier path, would arrive at Mars after the manned ship. Three tankers each carrying 88,000 pounds of propellant could provide enough fuel for the return flight. In addition to its 3-man crew, the space ship would carry 55,000 pounds of life support materials, plus the fueled chemical rocket for surface exploration. Food and water alone would weigh 19,- 000 pounds. After '"years of and investigation," Douglas Aircraft here, feasibility of adventure was ascertained by M. W. Hunter, assistant chief engineer of space systems, E. B. Konecci, chief of life sci ences, and R. F. Trapp, nu clear engineer. research said the company such an Married Life Will Last Longer by '80 Chicago - (Science Service) - Married couples will have more than 15 years together after their youngest child has left home, a team of U. S. Bureau of the Census workers predicts for 1980. Important changes in birth rates, age at marriage and other vital statistics are grad ually being reflected in a changed family life. Dr. Paul C. Glick, Dr. David M. Heer and John C. Beresford re ported to the American Asso ciation for the Advancement of Science meeting here. The full force of the post war "baby boom" will be felt beginning in about five years: the number of first marriages and the average annual in crease in the number of house holds and families will rise substantially, they said. Furthe rmore, relatively more women are having their children before the age of 40. From now into the near fu ture, the researchers predict, the average married couple will have close to one-third of their married life remain ing after the last child leaves home. Women will have in creasingly more time during which to perform their roles as wife, joint breadwinner, so ciety lady and community servant. New Device Finds Atom Particles Pasadena, Calif. - (Science Service) - A new kind of de vice for detecting the par ticles given off by exploding atoms was reported to the American Physical society meeting here. Semiconductors, the materi als that make transistors pos sible are used in the new par ticle detectors. Dr. J. W. May er of Hughes Aircraft com pany, Los Angeles, said. The devices can be made small enough to fit into a hypoder mic needle or other little in struments. Dr. Mayer reported that the "solid state ionization cham ber," as it is called by physi cists, is in use for detecting protons, deuterons (the nuclei of heavy hydrogen), helium three, alpha particles and the fragments produced when uranium fissions. Note in Bottle Takes Long Trip Omaha, Neb. - On the spur of the moment one day in 1954, Gerald Densky, 17, placed a note in a bottle and tossed it into the Missouri river. Three years later the bottle turned up on the shores of the Eider river in North Germany, probably 8,000 miles away. , surprised Gefald learned about it in a German post marked letter from one Otto Sprecht. who wrote of finding it on the river bank.
