Abstract:
A frequent complaint of engineers is that no one listens to their good ideas, and in truth, economic or political considerations usually make many engineer’s ideas unfeasible. The Transit programme represents a fortuitous confluence of an idea born in one engineer’s head that meshed with a particular US strategic need.
