US. astronauts would one day encounter "other living things" in outer space, Dr. Kurt H. Debus, Director of KSC, told Rollins College audience. "This prospect cannot be dismissed as metaphysical speculation. . . . It is much more a mathematical certainty than were the early theories expounded by scientists and philosophers whose observations and discoveries made possible many of our activities today." (UPI, NYT, 2/27/67,12)
Vice President Humphrey commissioned into service USN's $130-million Atlantic undersea test center, which he predicted might become the Cape Kennedy of oceanography. Speaking at West Palm Beach, the Vice President said: "This center has been established primarily for purposes of national security. But the knowledge we gain here will help us in other ways." It would contribute to man's knowledge of tides and provide information on untapped mineral resources and unutilized food sources. "We may learn how to divert and even prevent hurricanes," Mr. Humphrey said. "But perhaps the greatest promise of all lies in food from the sea." (AP, NYT, 2/27/67,46)
