PIONEERING IN' S,P~CE RESEARCH VIA SPACECRAFT

PLAN YOUR FUTURE WITH THE LEADER IN SPACE SCIENCE

Since the beginning of his intellectual awareness, Man has looked upward to the outer void surrounding his planet Earth. He has watched the twinkling stars and wondered at the never-ending dance of the planets around the Sun. He has dreamed andwritten of the possibility of exploring outer space and speculated endlessly on what he might, find could he but explore those silent spheres. ' A practical beginning fO these century long yearnings has already been accomplished with man-made satellites already girdling the E~rth. Now, the next stage is under way-the daring att~mpt to explore the Moon and the planets of our Solar System and their environments. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has assigned Caltech's Jet Propulsion laboratory (JPl) the responsibility for the Nation's program of unmanned 'unar, planetary, and interplanetary exploration. The objectives of this program are to contribute to mankind's fundamental knowledge of space and the space envi­ ronment and to the development of the technology of space exploration. For the next ten years, as larger booster vehicles become available, spacecraft with ever-increas­ ing scientific instrument payloads will be developed. lITustrafed is a "Rang.'" JPL will conduct the missions, utilizing these spacecraft proof-test mode' undergoing to orbit and land on the Moon, to. probe interplanetary design verifIcation testing lit space, and to orbit and land on the near and far planets. one of the laboratories of JPl.. Earliest of these spacecraft will be the "Ranger" series Here design features are now be,ing designed, developed and tested at JPl.

One might summarize her life briefly: she came to California in 1921, went to Hollywood High, got interested in George W. Hale, and ended up with 10 grandchil­ dren and the "most interesting job" at Caltech. Mrs. Geraldine, Cranmer, sec­ retary to Dr. George W. Beadle, might disagree with Mrs. Hale, since she is sure that Dr. Bea­ dle is "the best boss on cam­ pus." Since Mrs. Cranmer is secre­ tary to the chairman of the Biol­ ogy Department, she finds she must handle many strange calls, letters and vishors. Various public-minded citizens call in to explain their cure for cancer, to ask for medical advice, or to donate their body to science. One caller complained, "I have ter­ mites - what should I do?" from time to time, old men will come in with a huge briefcase full of their 'life's work, and Mrs. Cranmer will reluctantly "ease them out the door." Often visitors bring in things they found in their back yard and ask what they are. These range from huge spiders to unusual­ looking eggs (around Easter)., But more commonly she finds her job consists of the usual chores, heckling absent-minded professors, and reminding her boss of speaking dates. "If I didn't have them on my calen­ dar, I wouldn't remember and he wouldn't get there." Everyone should know the woman who typed up the Strong problems.

Many investigators believe that cancer starts with a genetic change in one or more cells in a plant or animal. According to the Tyler theory, the change can occur spontaneously, or from damage caused by radiation, chemicals, or a virus or bacte­ rium. Only one cell needs to be appropriately altered to start a tumor. Olhers have demon­ straLed that tumors can be trans­ mitted in inoculations contain­ ing only one or two cancer cells. To conform with the Tyler concept, the change must be the loss or inactivation of a particu­ lar gene, or group of genes, rath­ er than mutation to a different kirld of gerie in the cell. Each cell has thousands of pairs of genes, and each gene carries a bit of genetic information that determines some characteristic of that cell and its progeny. The particular genes that would be lost or inactivated are those which determine that cell's abili­ ty to get along with its fellow cells. They are called the his­ ENGINEERS tocompatibility genes. And there are probably a number of these .•. SCIENTISTS in humans.
