By EDWARD K. DELONG UPI Space Writer SPACE CENTER, Houston (UPI) More than three years passed between 'the opening of space age ip 1957 and the first human ventures Into orbit.

Man' had barely rippled the vast, forbidding ocean of the cosmos when President John F. Kennedy boldly proposed in 191 that the United States land men on the moon "before this decade is out." Only two space pilots had looked down on their home planet from above its atmosphere. One was the Russian, Yuri Gagarin, the other America's Alan B. Shepard, and both their flights had occurred within the two months before Kennedy Combined, their flight times totaled only 2 hours 3 minutes. Hurling unmanned satellites into orbit was still quite an accomplishment.

Three times the United States, had tried to-! send small, 'unmanned spaceships to the moon and three times it had failed. Man's conquest of space was sttll in its infancy. The space age dawned upon a startled world Oct. 4, 1957. Sputnik I On that morning, a great white rocket climbed away from the launch pad of South Central Russia and placed a 23-inch diameter, 184-pound ball in an oval path around the earth.

The Russians called it Sputnik 1. It's name meant "fellow traveler of the earth." Later, millions heard that awesome shrill "voice from space" on American radio and television broadcasts. Amateur radio operators tuned it in. News commentators struggled to axplain that the earth now had a new moon, -one made by human hands. Another Red Satellite Scarcely had the United States and, indeed, the world-adjusted to the shock of Sputnik I when the second shoe fell.

Another. Russian satellite soared into orbit 30 days later, on Nov. 3. 1957. Sputnik 2, weighing an amanng 1,121 pounds, carried a little black-and-white dog named Laika and a self contained artificial atmosphere -that kept her alive for seven days.

It was the first firm indication that Russia's real space goal was to orbit men. -1 8 The Sputnik launches of October and November, 1957, caused consternation and soul-searching in the United States. Some have called it the greatest shock to the nation since Pearl Harbor. Words like "space race" and "space lag" entered a vocabulary already striving with "arms race" and "missile gap." But it was a month later, on Dec. 6, 1957, that American embarrassment in the field of missiles and space reached a peak.

On that dismal day, before scores of newsmen at Cape Canaveral (now Cape Kenne- dy), and millions watching on television, America's first attempt to orbit a grapefruit-Size Vanguard satellite failed. The first stage of the rocket exploded on ignition, and the rest of the rocket crumpled on the wet Florida beach sand. America's first satellite a little 3.25-pound ball sent out its plaintive "beep-beep" from a palmetto flat instead of from the realm of The failure took on disastrous proportions. "Overnight" recalls space pioneer von Braun, "it became popular to; question the bulwarks of our society, our public education system, our industrial strength, international policy, defense strategy and forces, the capabi llty of our science' and technology the moral fiber of our people came under searching examination," German Rocket Team Against this background of pessimism. Von Braun and his German rocket team which had been transported to the United States after World War II were called into the breech.

They were working for the Army on missile development at Hunt- sville, Ala. The comeback was swift. On Nov, 1957, Von Braun had promised to orbit a satellite within 90 days. On Jan. 31, 1959, he did.

Explorer I streaked atop a Jupiter-C missile into the night -sky and soared into orbit, 31-pound package of instruments. The next Vanguard and the next Explorer launches failed, but on March 17, 1958. a Vanguard rocket finally sped into orbit, It, too, came up with a startling bit of information that the earth is rather pear shaped. Picture of Earth During the next three years the United States moved out to the launch pad 71 times logging 42 successes and 34 failures in flights. strom is the former Laura Sel-dal.

Secrecy hides most Russian failures, but the U.S. detected and announced two failures of Mars probes and a probable Venus probe abort. In the spring of 1959 President Dwight D. Eisenhow er set up the National Aeronautics and Space Admi nistration (NASA), responsible for "space activities except those projects' primarily associated with military re quirements." Project Mercury was born. A one-day flight was the goal.

But Russia once more pulled off a spectacular its biggest yet when on April 12, 1961, 27- year-old Maj. Yuri A. Gagarin orbited the arth one time inside the. eight-foot diameter ball Of a Vostok spaceship. His flight lasted 1 hour, 4S minutes.

A Bitter Disappointment Perhaps the bitterest disappointment from the Gagarin flight was felt by seven American astronauts who were preparing for one of their number Alan B. Shepard to ride a bell-shaped Mercury capsule on a bullet-like trajectory briefly into space and then down into the Atlantic. Listening to the news of Gagarin's flight at Cape Canaveral, however, astronaut Donald K. Slayton found reason for optimism. 1: "There's one good thing about Gagarin's flight," he told a newsman.

"It proves there is no serious obstacle to a man going into spacer Maybe we ought to be happy to know it can be done." Twenty-three days later, Shepard wedged himself into the Freedom 7 capsule atop his Redstone rocket and shot into the morning sky toward a maximum altitude 116.5 miles, He splashed safely into the Atlantic 302 miles from the cape 15 minutes 22 seconds later.
