Gentlemen, Be Seated

✍ Scribed by IT TAKES both agoraphobes and claustrophobes to colonize the Moon. Or make it agoraphiles and claustrophiles; for the men who go out into space had better not have phobias. If anything on a planet; in a planet; or in the empty reaches around the planets can frighten a man; he should stick to Mother Earth. A man who would make his living away from terra firma must be willing to be shut up in a cramped spaceship; knowing that it may become his coffin; and yet he must be undismayed by the wide-open spaces of space itself. Spacemen-men who work in space; pilots and jetmen and astrogators and such-are men who like a few million miles of elbow room.
