Forgive me, another sample:<p>So the President's Science Advisory Committee was formed and studied things. Where do we stand relative to the Russians? What is it they can do with these new technologies? What is the relative future? Jerrold Zacharias, of MIT was the spearhead of the secondary-school education reform, the Physical Sciences Study Committee, Biological Studies Committee, Chemistry Revolution and so on, and that was all very good, in my opinion. And also people asked, well, what is it technology can do for us? And it was I guess at that time, or a little bit earlier, that various people were involved in making the U-2 program, which was a simple recognition, long resisted by the Air Force, that the 35-mm camera exists, and that you don't necessarily get better pictures by going to larger film size and very long focal lengths. Those same people, Edwin Land and Ed Purcell and others — myself to some extent — made possible satellite observation as well. President Johnson said about the whole space program, that if it had just given us satellite photography, it would have paid for itself many times over. In fact that wasn't the "space program" at all. It had nothing to do with NASA. It was people, Land and Purcell, trying to do something specific for the country, rather than what NASA tends to do, which is to do things for NASA and hope that something will fall out of that which will help somebody some place — it's a totally self-serving bureaucratic enterprise.
