ROC CKET TO THE MOON
POSSIBLE, SAYS SIMS
Continuous Kick" Would Send
it Almost Indefinitely Through
Space, Admiral Contends

New York, Jan. I7-Rear Admiral
William :. Sims Yesterday announced his
belief in the possibility Of 8 rocket reaching
the moon from the earth
In answer TO an editorial expression
Of incredulitv rs 20 the powers Of the de-
wee invented hy Prof r. II Goddard Of
Clark College and tested under the aus
pices Of the Smithsonian Institution,
the Admiral wrote to a newspaper little
essay about what a prolectllc vii do in a
vacuum,
When he was in the Naval Academy his
class was asked the following question
II examination,
'cWiu q rocket ascend in vacuum II
30, why Ii not. why not
Feeling ran high on the subject Ad-
vocates Of both sides paradcd with banners
reading Il viii e up and i Wont 60 up
Then the professor proved with "a water
bottle, the letter says that rocket would
ascend IN d vacuum for the same reason
that a gun would kick i fired in q vacuum
and that the propelllnC force of a rocket
was nothing but , continuous kick
IF this Is true, the letter continues.
S'the rocket referred II VIII ascend after
passing above the earth atmosphere
and Jules Verne was correct In his as
sumption that al explosion from his huge
projectile would produce kick while
aircling the moon and thus release it
from the attraction Of that satellite
