 * Might I suggest an alt hook here, because the hook as it reads seems to be a little misleading as it was not his effort/proposal/idea (it was the Air Force's), merely that he was part of the team in charge of studying its feasibility. To wit:

 * I know what you mean, but I think you lose a lot of "punch" when you try to clarify things. Sagan was, to an extent, responsible as a project member, and the article does make it clear what his involvement was. If the blunter version is too misleading then yeah, go with the hook, but I think it's sufficiently accurate to draw a reader into the article to find out the full extent of his work with the project.
