All the other Air Force scientists must hurry too; every new weapon project calls for materials and components of higher and higher performance. Human nerves and senses and brains must be better understood, and nonhuman brains (computing devices) with greater intelligence must be constructed. Ideas of promise must be exploited, and new ideas must be extracted from both gadgetmakers and theoretical scientists. There is no rest in the fight for air power, and no end in sight.
* Irregularities on the moon's surface affect the observation of solar eclipses, which can be used to measure accurately the distances between earthly continents. This is important for the Air Force's most ambitious project, the intercontinental ballistic missile.
