- Block I, consisting of Ranger 1 and 2, were test missions. ...

These Ranger spacecraft experienced satisfactory vehicle performance but either missed the Moon (Ranger 3) or failed before impacting the lunar surface (Ranger 4 and 5).
- The experience of the earlier phases of the program led to the Block III missions in 1964 and 1965: Ranger 6, 7, 8, and 9. ...
- Ranger 6 performed satisfactorily, but the camera failed to operate before lunar impact. However, Ranger 7, 8, and 9 fulfilled the mission objective and provided more than 17,000 photographs at resolutions not previously obtained. The Ranger 7 and 8 missions provided coverage of the two types of mare terrain in which they impacted. ... Ranger 9 provided coverage of the highland region, impacting in the large central highland crater Alphonsus.
- The Ranger photographs provided valuable information for future landing site selection for Surveyor and Apollo missions, and feature designation of surface detail not heretofore visible to Earth-based observations. ...

The discovery of oil in Ranger led the oil industry to reappraise Texas as an oil-producing area and allayed fears of a nationwide oil shortage, which had been growing since 1900. ...

He felt a tough, disciplined and elite Ranger unit would set a standard for the rest of the United States Army and that, as Rangers "graduated " from Ranger units to Regular Army units, their influence would improve the entire Army. ...
- "The Ranger Battalion is to be an elite, light, and the most proficient infantry battalion in the world; a battalion that can do things with its hands and weapons better than anyone. ...
- "Wherever the Ranger Battalion goes, it is apparent that it is the best. ...
- On January 25, 1974, Headquarters, United States Army Forces Command, published General Orders 127, directing the activation of the 1st Battalion, 75th Infantry (Ranger), with an effective date of January 31, 1974. ...

-   Death of the Lone Ranger.
- Claim:   After the actor who voiced the Lone Ranger on radio was killed while driving drunk, his replacement did not speak during the next several episodes to prevent the original actor's shameful death from being revealed to children by the change in voice. ...
- The story is that the man who played the Lone Ranger was killed in a drunk driving accident on the night that the show was supposed to go on the air. ... So, at the last minute, they hurriedly rewrote the episode with the Ranger injured and unable to speak. ...
- Origins:   One of the actors who portrayed radio's famous Lone Ranger did die in an automobile accident (but not while driving drunk), and his replacement did indeed speak very little for the next several episodes. The ruse was not employed to cover up the actor's (allegedly shameful) death, however, but merely to assuage children's fears that the Lone Ranger himself (rather than the actor who portrayed him) was dead, and to avoid presenting an abrupt change in the Lone Ranger's voice to the audience. ...
- In the hectic early days of radio's The Lone Ranger, three different actors ended up voicing the title role during the show's first three months on the air 1933. The original Ranger was a man named George Stenius who left the role after two and a half months to pursue a career as a writer in New York. ... James Jewell, the station's dramatic director, filled in for one performance before hiring Earle Graser, who took over as the Lone Ranger on 18 April 1933. ...
- Earle Graser was the Lone Ranger on radio for the next eight years, until tragedy struck. ... Graser's death presented two immediate problems to The Lone Ranger's producers: a new actor had to be found fast (the show was broadcast live three days a week; no reruns, and no pre-recorded broadcasts), and the transition had to be handled smoothly to avoid alienating the audience with an abrupt and obvious change in actors. Moreover, the many adolescents in the listening audience had to be reassured that it was not the Lone Ranger himself who had died. Earle Graser was so little-known outside of The Lone Ranger (and received scarcely any publicity even for that role), that his name became almost a footnote in news stories reporting the death of the "Lone Ranger. ...
- The part was filled by Brace Beemer, an announcer and studio manager who had at times narrated The Lone Ranger program, had been making personal appearances as the Lone Ranger (because he was much more physically impressive than Graser), and was currently playing the lead in Challenge of the Yukon (later Sgt. ... The gimmick used was to have the Lone Ranger shot and badly wounded at the beginning of the next script, an injury that left him unable to speak for several days as he struggled to recover from his wounds and a fever. For five episodes (April 9 through April 18) the Lone Ranger whispered, breathed, and grunted (and communicated with Tonto through notes) as he recuperated with the aid of an Army Surgeon. Meanwhile, Tonto faithfully followed his instructions to "ride for us both" and continually assured the audience that the Lone Ranger would ride again one day. The transition series served its dual purpose of convincing children that, despite what they may have heard on the news, the Lone Ranger was not dead, and of providing a bridge to Beemer's resumption of a full-voiced Lone Ranger role. Brace Beemer was the Lone Ranger for the next thirteen years, until the radio series ended with its last live broadcast on 3 September 1954. ...
