Is it true you had copies of Flash Gordon and Buck Rodgers in the room as an example of what not to do?

I needed an envelope to design to, anything else is pie-in-the-sky time and isn�t going to work. So I spent a lot of money on old Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon comic books.

I�d been a member of the Aviation Writers Association for quite a few years and I had the material that had been produced by NASA, NACA at that time, Douglas, Northrop, Lockheed, Boeing, all their work on possible space work. I pinned all that up on the board and said, "That I will not do".
