Navy Says Degree
May Lead to Mars
According to the Navy, a well-educated man with a college de
gree has the best chance of taking a trip to Mars to see if there
really are little men walking the streets or tasting the green cheese
on the moon.
You may ask yourself why college men are best qualified to
take these trips to a new world
of little men and green cheese..
The Navy's explanation for this ,
is that the college graduate is
better trained to learn the me
chanics of flying through space
than the person without a college
education
Girls Not Forgotten
How these men are going to
:ake a joy ride through space is
another puzzling question that the
Navy has solved. Its newest pro
iluct in the advancement of science
is a "space suit." With it, they
claim "full protection for pilots
flying above 50,000 feet, where
death occurs only seconds after
the loss of airplane cabin pres
sure."
And, girls, you haven't been
left out of the picture. The Navy
says you'll be sought after for
space crew jobs as .radio and ra
dar operators. The Na v y has
pointed out that women have
shown they can perform monot
onous and tedious tasks.
Permits Mobility
When a pilot dons his new suit
he looks like Buck Rogers come

a heavily corrugated suit of rub
ber, and strongly reinforced , pres
sur4.ed boots and gloves like the
rest of the suit.
The new high-pressure baloon
permits almost complete mobility
by means of a variety of devices,
most of them - top secret. Semi
rigid accordian pleats allow move
ment of shoulders, elbOws and
knees.
• Ingenious wrist joints permit
rotation of hands. The helmet is
attached at the shoulders and is
so built that a man's head can
move comfortably within it. The
suit has special slide fasteners
which seal the suit as they close.
In the past, kids want ed
nothing but cowboy suits for
Christmas, but the way things are
turning out we'll be wearing glass
helmets and rubber suits as part
of our new summer outfit.
There is only one obstacle keep
ing us from using these suits for
everyday wear: they cost about
$225,000 to develop. Once we cut
this price to about $5O, we'll be
going to Mars for that extra cup
of coffee.
