Both earth and moon are travel

is irregular in that part Of the
time It gains upon the earth, and

earth at the same time IL rotating

composition with the protective
motion, and thus have to be care

There IL a point between the
earth and the moon where their

gravity, which adds continuously
to the speed Of a falling body.
Obviously the greatest practi-
cal difficulty in constructing a
rocket capable of going as far as
the moon must lie In the supply
of a sufficient number Of cxplo-
sive charges, and the arrange.
ment for their discharges at regu.
lar intervals, without interference.
How large the rocket would have
to be is a question that expert.

The objection has been raised
that the. rocket could not con.
