THE SPEED OF NO RETURN.
Velocity 3 Body Must Have to Leave
Earth and Never Come Back.

There are a great many odd terms in
science none of which has a title so
weird as the speed Of no return. This
means the velocity a body must have
IN leaving the earth in order for it
never to come back. 1t has been accu-
rately worked out and is found to be
nbout seven miles a second Now,
though this speed has never been OBJ
iained by artificial means on the earth
still IL is interesting TO note the theory

| body. II would continue outward In a
curved line until it was controlled by
balancing forces. mainly the earth,
moon and sun. In such a way as to
make it have an orbit of its own. So
It would go on revolving forever just
as any other planet.
Although this speed has never been
obtained hy artificial means. it IS
