America's Space Program Taking on 'Human Element;' Many Shots Slated Cape Canaveral, Fla.-flM) America's multi-dollar space program is getting a new flavor - the "human element." The day when space was a "purely scientific" property is gone. U.S. research is winging toward finding out ' more what space can do for man and what man can do in pace. This shift is reflected in the Jammed schedule of American (pace shots for the remainder of 1960. Rockets will carry tons of machinery into the skies to explore new ways of weather forecasting, com munications, navigation and national defense. The lgjadlincr is the proj ect named Mercury Angr ica's first attempt to send a man to the edges of and then . into space. The pressure is on , because Russia too stands on the "man-in-space" brink-. U.S. scientists hope tcrsend the spaceman's capsule on a Family Council Lydia T. - They should give . Mike a second chance. Mrs. R. T. - We don't think he Reserves it. w ' Lydia T. - I am 16 and having a feud with my parents over a particular boy I want to date. They don't like him. I used to go out with Mike bout a year ago. One day my father saw him driving down town and bawled him out for going too fast. Mike said something fresh and my father refused me permission to go out with him anymore. I saw Mike after school a few times and now 'he has asked me to go out with him again. He says he is willing to apologize to my father if he will just let us date again. I feel Mike has matured a lot in the past year and my par ents would like him if they would just give him another chance. Dad had no right to bawl Mike out anyway. K Mn. R. T. - My husband nd I have talked this over pretty carefully and we don't aee any good coming out of giving in to Lydia on this point. There are plenty of nice boys around for her to date. Why must she choose a boy who has treated her father disrespectfully? I have tried very hard to reason with her and explain that a really nice boy doesn't lose his temper to the extent Where he actually yells at an adult - especially when he is in the wrong and the adult happens to be his girl friend's father. I am also very annoyed that Lydia has seen Mike after school. I thought she wouldn't look at him again. We don't want to be unfair, but we don't think this boy deserves a second chance. The Council: Sorry Lydia, we have no sympathy for your cause. A young man who hasn't better control of his temper than Mike is not a desirable friend for a young girl. Even if we were to try to be extremely understanding about this incident and say that Mike had probably got ten out of bed from the wrong ide that morning, we would have to ask why it has taken htm a whole year to decide to apologize. IJJpw he claims he is willing to apologize "if" he is granted certain privilege - that of dating Lydia. Apparently, Lydia is flattered that Mike has made this overture. But it is not flattering. It is in tuiting. He is bargaining for her. He has also extracted from her, in effect, a state ment that his insulting be havior toward her father was not terribly serious. Why does Lydia favor this boy whom she has every rea son to dislike? Possibly she ii feeling a little rebellious at this stage of her life. She would like to show her par ents she is a grown, independ ent woman, but she knows quite well she is far from that. Perhaps she would like to assert herself more at home, but doesn't dare. Secretly she may admire Mike just because he had the nerve to talk back to Ker father. It Is also likely that Lydia enjoys the feeling that two men are battling over her. The fact that one happens ' to be her father doesn't take way any of the fun. We think the R.T.'s should Stand firm and refuse to dis cuss the matter after they have fully explained their at titude. . (Copyright I960, General Feaiurn Corp.) Americans spend nearly , $35 million a year on hair ' grooming preparation!. short hop with a Redstone Transit missile and then Into orbit with an Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile here early this summer. If all goes well, the first Astronaut will ride a Red stone 80 miles above and 160 miles across the Atlantic in July or August. The first orbit attempt is slated for late 1961. Start Get Brother! Two of the nation's most successful satellites Tiros I, to take weather picires, and 1-B, forerunner of a radio star" for navigators to guide by will get brothers within thPnext few months. Tiro! II and TranQt 2-A, two of the first satellites to hold promises for man in his everyday life, are expecteS to be fired toward an orbit around earth by September. Operational systems are pre dicted for the next two years. Echo II, a 100-foot balloon, will be launched during the same period. The first Echo shot failed earlier this month. Operational Echo balloons will open the door to world wide television, telephone and telegraph communications. In a more secret area of communications, the Army hopes to send up two protypes of its Courier satellite, the first within one month. Couri er will enable American mili tary headquarters to send taped messages to overseas bases. The Air Force has three satellite systems in Vie works mos and Midas, will get sev to protect the nation Midas, arn against missile at- to tacks: Samos. toSake recon naissance pictures; and Ad vent, to relay Midas and Sa mos information Instantane ously to the ground. The three systems will be fired from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., into polar orbits, the first Midas proto type is in orbit, although plagued by troubles. Samos will get its first snot around August. Advent test models will be launched next year. Scientific Satelliiai Project Discoverer, the Van denberg launched satellite that serves as a basis for Sa- eral more trials this year. Satellites for strictly scien tific purposes and prestige value dot the rest of this year's schedule. Atlas-Able lef'vkets will launch a nair of ine lirst around August or September and the second about November. One lunar probe will take pictures of the far side of the moon's surface and relay them to eaiCi via television camera. But the pictures prob ably will be crude coOpared to the shots made by Lunik III, the earth-moon orbiter launched by Russia last Oc tober. The nation's first chance to equal the payload weights ol Russia's Sputnik ana Lunik rockets will come late this year, when the Air Force gives its Titan intercontinent al ballistic missile its initial space job. June ShXJi Planned Titan probably will try to throw a large payload into orbit around earth. Sources said it could orbit up to 11, 000 pounds, of which 8,000 pounds would be working payload. The National Aeronautics and Space AdnSnlstration fire several Juno II rock ets to study radiation and meteor dust, starting around September. The solid-fueled Scout rock et Is expected to break Into space research within a month. It will be fired to an altitude of more than 25,000 miles for radiation studies. MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or..
