I see it was "For Sale by the Government Publications Office for 15
cents". I would have expected it to be classified - in order to avoid
exposing Dwight D. Eisenhower to ridicule. I'm glad those days were not
quite so benighted after all. But then, it was *1958* - just _after_
Sputnik.

And, of course, the timetable for men on Mars - still later yet - has
been proven accurate by time.

I was quite impressed by how well it holds up overall.

Edwin Land of Polaroid fame was interesting to see on the list. But
Doolittle as a VP of Shell Oil takes the cake. More spooks and oil...

Anyway, Google led me to this link:

....which is more on-topic.
