Today we finish up William Tompkins work...'Selected by Extraterrestrials My life in the top secret world of UFOs.,
think-tanks and Nordic secretaries'

..It was one of my hobbies to assist the NAA Apollo S-II Stage people in their attempt to utilize their S-II Stage, for future NASA missions to the solar system planets or their moons. This technical effort was fairly simple for me, as I had files full of documents from the Douglas Think Tank to select from. At that time we, in the Tank, had already conceived a file cabinet full of Naval Space Missions and another full of Naval spacecraft ships from spacecraft carriers to spacecraft transports, six years before NASA even existed. A great number of these missions became NASA’s (NAVY) prototype for our next thirty year penetration to solar system planets and stars.

During design reviews of the Saturn V, North American S-II Stage, I was accompanied by an ex-Air Force General and two other NAA top management guys on the drive to Huntington Beach. I, again, had the advantage of the six-passenger Cadillac with 2 other top Rocketdyne engineering executives on board. We drove to the North American Systems Integration checkout facility, for the S-II stage, to investigate transfer of their stage to the Navy’s ammunition storage facility. Their vehicle, like the Douglas S-IVB, was to be loaded on a Navy landing dock ship, which the Marines usually use for landing assaults, and then transport the completed stage down the Pacific, through the Panama Canal, and up the Atlantic to NASA’s Cape Kennedy’s launch center. However, a third of the way to Huntington Beach my equivalent at Rocketdyne, Harold Mazes, the ex-Air Force General, was drunk and threw up all over the back seat of my brand new Cadillac I called Corporate and we got a limousine. The general was taken home and we proceeded to the two day transportation review. The general was later fired and I took over his responsibilities.

4 New Business Plan for Saturn II

In six weeks we completed THE PLAN. We were to carry out one of Dr. Debus’ assignments; I utilized my heavy naval space studies in conceiving the Apollo NAA S-II stages in a large number of naval missions. These included interplanetary, manned, Mars, Venus, Mercury, and deep space major solar system planets or their habitable moons. I conceived, and they developed naval bases on all of them.

“Developing a large service module of 22 personnel in the nose cone of the Post NOVA vehicles will increase diversified Navy missions. Similarly, the availability of the improved NOVA truck vehicle rockets into naval scout ships will considerably increase the effectiveness of early solar system, manned naval planetary Moon, Mars fly-by and station missions. It will also increase development of the naval Mars base operation. The sketch nearby shows the scope of the planning, to 1970 and beyond, way beyond even where we are today, and the sketches nearby provide extensive https://exploringrealhistory.blogspot.com/2021/04/part-9-of-9-selected-by.html for the lunar base planning.
