Extract

It would not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to say that aeronautics and space technology represent the most dynamic, progressive and exciting field of modern knowledge, where many bold dreams of yesterday are rapidly becoming the spectacular realities of today and tomorrow. Never before, and in no other field, has man learned so much and so profoundly in such a short space of time as he has here during the past ten years or so. This explosion of aerospace knowledge has brought forward and established new dimensions and criteria of national defence, international relations, military strategy, socio-political thought, economics, commerce, etc, and affects everyone’s life in one way or another.
