Only recently vrord has row, that ty mean of a newty designed steering Mech. anism, one scientist has added a potential 30 ywr emit to the range of his rockets, which are already capable of attaining a speed of 106 miles an hour. Tins retest- tist is Dr. Robert H Goddard. of Clark University, who, finaneed by the Guile. heir Foundation, has been experimenting with rockets for years in Eden 'alley , ' Mar Roawell, New Mexico. Some time aeo Dr. Goddard attracted much ittteMion after he had developed a gym steering mechanism bro.' hich a rocket alio maid be guided automatically, but orates, lent so the fuel lasted, The new device goes into operation only after the fuel has been consumed and the rocket is still being propelled through space like soma missile fmm a catapult. ' , Fantastic as may seem the even:lot 700 rail's an hour, it is still ,far front fast enough to propel ;a, rocket any appreciable distance into space. Rocket experi tann ers have long since computed what they call "the speed of liberatiim" (from ' the earth's gravitational,puill as mond, or 26,000 Intim' being about 6.664 miles , , - - ,,, - AN'S ancient dream of visiting other planets is still in the promos of realization.
