![This advertisement by the Martin company in 1959 conveys our first baby steps into space. It reads:
Toward the preparation of man for the first steps into deep space,the Martin space medicine research program and space ecology laboratory facilities - now in development at the Denver Division -are among the most advanced activities in the free world. Especially noteworthy is the Martin Lunar Housing Simulator. This will be a self-sustaining environmental closed system which will permit advanced study of survival requirements and techniques applicable to airless lunar or planetary conditions.
Many think that to grow into a being that can survive in space, we must become something different - physically and mentally - than what we are. The man of today is fumbling around, attempting to play God, and designing the man of tomorrow. These are the slow moving, invisible wheels of creation.
