tion will become a reality, not a generation hence, but in-say-

If we had a base on the moon, either the Soviets must launch an
overwhelming nuclear attack toward the moon from Russia two to

sia could attack the continental U.S. first, only and inevitably to
receive from the moon some 48 hours later sure and massive de-
struction.

-Brig. General Homer A. Boushey,
director of advanced technology, USAF
(as quoted by Aviation Week;
September 29, 1958)
