to be sure all this costs us all a good deal of money this years space budget is 3 times what it was in january 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined that the budget now stands at 5,400 million dollars a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year space expenses will soon rise some more from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman child in the united states for we have given this program a high national priority even though realize that is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not know what benifits await us.
