Inscriptions Type printed with negative BC: (Moon Progress) 2/63 5) BRAIN VAULT: In a room locked by combination, project engineers of the Martin Marietta \ Advance Research and Management Planning Center in Denver plot the creation of a missle, from blueprint to \ blastoff time for a moon capsule. They even chart wage increases and strike probabilities in space factories. \ Most results are classified - including the trash. Dumped into a padlocked wastebasket, it is picked up by \ classified garbage men and burned in a classified oven. Credit: Elliott Erwitt © 1963 MAGNUM Photos
