Exploring Space
“Perhaps the ultimate condemnation of the space race comes from Professor M. J. Lighthill, Royal Society research professor at Imperial College, London. Speaking at a conference in Britain to discuss scientific progress in the next 30 years, the professor said that, in his opinion, the whole vast cost of all the man-in-space projects which will be launched in that period is unlikely to bring any’ greater practical benefits than has Antarctic exploration over the last 50 years.”—John Newell, in a 8.8. C. broadcast
