This issue features specialized science articles and science fiction stories focused on space exploration. Two research-based articles lead the content: "Today's Challenge: Satellites to a Space Station" by Henry Bott, a Research Engineer, discussing the mechanics and applications of artificial satellites and planned space station construction; and "Survival Problems Facing Man in Space" by Guenther Schmidt, Ph.D., addressing physiological challenges for astronauts. The fiction offerings include Edmond Hamilton's interplanetary novel "Planet of Exile," and short stories: "Buzzard-Brain" by Darius John Granger, "The Ultimate Vice" by A. Bertram Chandler, and "To Please the Master" by Margaret St. Clair. Supplementary departments include pieces on magnetism, robot translators, earth remaking, and a film column. Malcolm Smith's cover art depicts a wheel-shaped space station design.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
