Trip to Moon Is
Possibility Says
Noted Scientist
BY LEON L. KAY
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. lj.-Only
one thing is lacking to make a visit
TO the moon possible, according to
DIR. Martin Gil, Argentine scientist
and popular lecturer.
Man has already conquered the
earth, the ocean, and has definitely
commenced to dominate the air. Any
new conquests must commence
where the air leaves off, and tn"
only thing lacking is an explosive
powerful enough to give our aero
proicctile an initial velocity of
$4,000 feet per second at which.
il aimed at the zenith, it would keep
tight on going. We. would then
need some means Of rctarding and
accelerating its motion after inter
stellar space was reached DR..
Gil believes that science will be
equal to the task of inventing Il
means of absorbing the initial shock
so that the occupants could stand
it.
1--WE have in very few years
developed explosives enabling us to
of 5000 feet per second.' says Dr.
Gil.
The Argentine scientist then takes
up the question of the much mootcd
absolute cold of the outer space,
calculated to be more than 200 do
grces below zero. ccntigrade. of

Once clear of the earth s shadow,

of that side of the moon that has
never been seen by earthmen. BY
possessing means of accelerating the
speed, they could widen their orbit
until they came within the field of
the earth s attraction. The shock
