The SPACE RACE is on Again! - Garner Ted Armstrong - November 1964

Garner Ted Armstrong

The Soviets have DONE IT AGAIN! America was alarmed to learn of the spectacular achievement of the Soviet Union recently, to place into orbit a three-man space vehicle! WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? Where is it taking us? What is ahead within the next eight or ten years? You would be STAGGERED if you really knew! Just when most Americans had been lulled to sleep with the fanciful notion that we had narrowed the "missile gap." Russia did it again! The world was electrified recently with the announcement that the Soviets had launched a capsule into orbit, containing three men. This three-man, space-bus flight is being called the first passenger flight into space because more than one person was aboard. In just 17 minutes more than one day this troika of Russian cosmonauts covered nearly a half-million miles-437,500 - in 16 orbits of the earth. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
