In today's modern world we are surrounded with talk con- cerning space, space travel, rockets and man-made satellites. They have become an important part of our daily lives. We live in con- stant awareness that in the not too distant future all of these scientific inventions will attain their ultimate goals. With each new discovery, man has come closer and closer to conquering the unknown. However, if man should conquer outer space, he will be faced with a great many problems along with a wealth of knowledge. It is our hope that he will use this knowl- edge as a peaceful means of solving the problems in forming a better world for tomorrow. Tomorrow, when we open this book, we hope it will bring to mind the old and conquered horizons and enlighten our way toward the new.
