Cord, a Project Engineer in the Advanced Design Division at Bell Aerosystems Company, and Leonard M. Seale, a psychologist in charge of Bell\u2019s Human Factors Division, developed a plan for a desperate mission to put a man on the moon ahead of the Soviets. <strong>They unveiled their \u201cOne-Way Manned Space Mission\u201d proposal<\/strong> in Los Angeles at the Institute of Aerospace Sciences (IAS) meeting <strong>in July 1962<\/strong>.\n  <br><br>\n  Cord and Seale explained that, since neither propellants for departing the moon nor parachutes and an Earth-atmosphere-reentry heatshield would be required, their new approach would slash lunar spacecraft mass. This would enable a rocket with between 450,000 and 1.1 million pounds of thrust to launch a one-man moon lander on a Direct-Ascent path to the moon. Such a rocket would, they estimated, be ready in the United States in 1964 or early 1965.\n  <br><br>\n  <strong>Though they termed it \u201cone-way,\u201d Cord and Seale did not propose a suicide mission. They estimated that a rocket<\/strong> capable of launching a three-man Direct-Ascent Apollo mission <strong>to retrieve the One-Way Space Man<\/strong> \u2014 that is, a rocket with between 1.1 million and 3.5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff \u2014 <strong>would become available in the U.S. in the 1965-to-1967 period, between 18 and 24 months after his arrival on the moon<\/strong>.
