Title	Maybe someday you'll be telling us what it's like on Mars...provided we keep this launching pad, Earth, intact!; May 28, 1969
Alternate title(s)	Provided we keep this launching pad, Earth, intact!
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection; Cartoon by Vic Runtz. A father sits in a lawn chair in his backyard with his small son in his lap. They are reading a newspaper with headlines: "Interplanetary travel seen in twenty years" and "Apollo 10 scores 110%." The father says, "Maybe someday you'll be telling us what it's like on Mars." Runtz's signature cat (with stars for eyes) reclines on a tree branch above the father and son. The cartoon caption reads, "Provided we keep this launching pad, Earth, intact."
