Show JOURNEY TO THE MOON aft et re 10 your our rockets tuned up U H science has advanced to the point where when you talk about taking a trip to the moon people no longer look sorrowfully upon you is BS one who has been affected by the tabled fabled light from that lunar orb an actual journey to the moon may become a reality sooner than one would have expected live five years ago right now in several parts ot of the world thero there are small group of earnest experts who are quite serious about the prospects of 0 travel between the planets one of those organizations Is the british interplanetary society a group of 0 about members nearly one third are rocket and supersonic research scientists another third Is made up ol 01 mechanical and electrical engineers radio and radar ladar technicians W wt 4 A K i many researchers working on military rocket powered weapons believe that their work on rockets con can be just juat as important tor for a peaceful future us it might bo be tor for war from tin the aspect ol of motive power they know that by the time they can se send nd a rocket halfway around the tha world they are likely to bo be within easy reach of tho the next phase Interplanetary travel thal hat time lime may not be ba very far distant present velocity of at a va type rocket is about two miles a second the velocity required to send one to the most distant distanti spot on this globo globe Is 13 about live five miles a second and tho the estimated velocity needed to get a rocket out 0 of th the earths gravitational pull pall Is seyen seven e 1 miles a second gut but actual travel in space Is still a secondary daty consideration after at er man has succeeded in shaking on off earths gravity pull with hla his rockets the first thing he will do 13 1 to shoot a load of scientific instruments into space the visionary 1 scientist st seea himself sending instruments instrumental to the moon or to mars or arranging it so that part of hla his rocket would become a satellite to one of the planets thus through a development of television he might see such things as the secrets of the dark side of the moon A wealth of research literally out of this world would be opened up long before an attempt could be ba made to beg begin inhuman human interplanetary travel 4 it i I 1 I 1 i aln al wa |
