Show Page Twelve THE SPRINGVILLE (UTAH) HERALD May 7, 1970 1 AERONAUTICS. WHAT? SPACE SHUTTLES! WASHINGTON Man is talking about "space shuttles", shut-tles", possibly wingless aircraft air-craft that will carry passengers passen-gers and cargo out to space stations and beyond. This sounds a lot more believable than a manned lunar landing sounded a dozen years ago. The concept is so believable believ-able two major airlines are already taking reservations for space flights. Admittedly there is some public relations hoopla to this offer, but the fact remains that you and I, with no more qualifications than now required to fly on a passenger jet, will one day fly on a space shuttle for a price, of course. One who knows much about space shuttles, Charles Mathews, NASA's Deputy Associate Administrator for Manned Space Flight says, "We can expect average people peo-ple to fly into space, to visit, to live and work in the space station." He sees the space shuttle as a cargo and passenger pas-senger carrying concept simi-alr simi-alr to commercial airline practices. The spacecraft would be flown by astronauts, "but the passengers," Chuck Mathews says, "would not require these skills and would be subject sub-ject to low stress environment." environ-ment." This means the gravity forces won't be severe se-vere enough to upset the ordinary or-dinary passengers. Flying passengers by shuttle out to space is a far cry from the meager beginnings begin-nings in 1958 when the U.S. launched a 31-pound Explorer Explor-er satellite. That shot cost the country a million dollars per pound. The shuttle will take off vertically like a rocket, deliver de-liver its load and return to earth, landing horizontally like an airplane. It will be refurbished, tuned-up and readied for further flight. The first family of shuttles will probably have interiors as large as fifteen feet in diameter and sixty feet long. That's a larger interior than the average commuter bus. This may not sound very big, but remember we started with a 31-pound unmanned spacecraft which wasn't much bigger than a bazooka. The rocketeers are taking their plans for a reusable shuttle out of the dream stage and on to the drawing boards and are even talking about 50 round-trips per year. With this kind of flight schedule a ticket on the space shuttle would cost, by some estimates, $5000 per round trip, say to a space station orbiting the earth or to the moon. If you think that's expensive, expen-sive, think how much it would have cost you in 1958 when the per-pound eost was one million dollars.
