Chemical processes occurring in air discussed relative to their effects on density and temperature structure of atmosphere; reactions responsible for most of solar energy absorption; most of aerodynamic force and heat transfer effects become secondary above 60 mi altitude, for vehicles traveling at speeds up to escape velocity; hazards arising at high altitude will probably not prohibit manned flight through upper atmosphere.
