Colonel Jorgen and Wolff s Past In Wolff s confession in Explorers on the Moon it is never stated that Jorgen was the one who persecuted Wolff in the past on behalf of his creditors or the foreign power or that they even knew one another before the actual moon rocket mission Rather it is more probable that Wolff was being contacted and extorted by other agents over the years until the moon mission was already well underway It also appears from what Wolff says that he and Jorgen met for the first time only when already on the way to the moon when shortly after waking from the departure from Earth Wolff goes down to the hold to free Jorgen of his stowing place Wolff says that up until that point he had thought Jorgen was nothing but a nosy journalist
