When
men first went into space in the late 1950s, everyone expected that

problems arose. A series of disasters led to the highly publicized
deaths of a number of astronauts and cosmonauts. Added to that, the
cost of manned space flight became literally "astronomical".
While there are manned space stations orbiting the Earth today, most
people in the '60s would have expected a moon base, and certainly a
manned landing on Mars by this time.
