The U.S. in 1966 brought to a fruitful conclusion its Gem- ini space program, a series of earth - orbit flights in which techniques were tested for voyages to the moon and be- yond, Its Apollo series, aim- ing at a lunar landing by Americans in 1968 or 1969, is to start early in 1967 with a 14-day earth - orbit mission by three men in a new and larger spaceship. Progress of the parallel So- viet effort was shielded by of- ficial silence. But one U.S. scientist, James E. Webb, ad- ministrator of the National Aeronautical and Space Ad- ministration, said the Rus- sians, with superior rocketry, might put men on the moon before the U.S. does. The Russians in 1966 beat the U.S. by four months in a race to land a camera-equip- ped craft intact on the moon to photograph possible land- ing sites for man. Only nine years ago, in 1957, Russia electrified the world by to earth orbit its first Sputnik, a two - foot sphere. The U.S. began a catch - up effort which brought its great- est rewards in 1966. By the time Gemini 12 splashed down within sight of television cam- eras last Nov. 15, the U.S. owned most of the records for manned space flights. MEET IN SPACE The records included the longest space walk--two hours and nine minutes by Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin Jr. -- and most space flight time--1,993 hours and 44 minutes by James A. Lovell Jr. These two men were the Gemini 12 crew. More important than the time-in-space records was the demonstration of U.S. ability to bring two vehicles together in space, link them into a:sin- gle, controllable unit and send men outside space ships to do useful work. Gemini 12 was the 10th U.S. two - man space flight since March 23, 1965. The last manned Soviet flight was March 18-19, 1965, when Alexei Leonov became the first man ever to walk in space. Soviet emphasis in 1966 was on the launching of unmanned satellites to perform tasks useful to man and of space probes to gather information about the moon and venus. The Russians launched doz- ens of earth satellites, some to provide long-distance com- munications, some to gather weather, radiation and other information, and some to serve as "spies in the sky." MOON IN PICTURES The U.S. had a parallel pro- gram, its Samos satellites pho- tographing the secrets of Rus- sia and China, just as some of the Soviet Cosmos. series are assumed to have been scanning the U.S. The Soviet Union achieved a "soft landing" on the moon with Luna IX Feb. 3, reaping a harvest of close-up pictures, and followed with three more moon probes. Luna X orbited the moon close, sending back a stream of information until it ran out of power. Luna XI went into moon orbit in August and finally burned out Oct. 1, Luna XII, launched Oct. 22, went into close orbit and sent back moon pictures from as close as 60 miles, The U.S. Surveyor I settled gently on the moon's surface June 2 and sent back 11,000 pictures in six weeks. It was twice brought back into serv- ice after enduring two-week- long lunar nights. Surveyor II had motor trouble-and crashed into the moon Sept. 22. In the second half of the year, the U.S. put up two Lunar Orbiter satellites, both of which returned excellent moon pictures. Lunar Orbiter TI, launched Nov. 6, sent back possibly the best topograph- ical pictures yet obtained. AIM AT VENUS The Soviet Union sent two space vehicles to Venus this year, Venus IE passing within 14,900 miles, the closest fly- past of that planet, and Venus In crashing into the planet. The U.S. received radioed information from Pioneer VII, which it put into near-perfect orbit around the sun Aug. 17. Dr. Bruce C. Murray of California IInstitute of *Tech- nology has predicted that Mars will be the next big tar- get of the Soviet space effort. Mars will be close to earth from mid-May to late July and Murray believes the U.S.S.R. will try to plant its flag there. to celebrate the golden jubilee of the 1917 Bol- shevik Revolution. Canada's Alouette II, a 320- pound satellite launched by a U.S. rocket Nov,. 28, 1965, to probe the top side of the ion- osphere for radio, temperature and. other information, was still going strong a year later. Alouette I, launched four years ago, still is in orbit. France, Britain and Japan now have the basic capability to launch satellites on their own, although only France has done so.

BONANZA FOR STATE Seen In Steel CLEVELAND (AP) -- "'Steel- makers will get away from the gate faster in 1967 than they did in the record year that's end- ing," says Steel magazine. The metalworking weekly, published Sunday, predicts ship- ments next month will top those for January, 1966, by 10 per cent because users were trimming large inventories they had built for strike protection in 1965. Estimates of user stocks vary, but. most steel company an- alysts believe supplies are in good balance with consumption, Steel says, adding, 'Steel pro- ducers needn't fear much addi- tional liquidation by automakers and can companies. Business in other major steel consuming in- dustries will determine whether liquidation will continue."
