 The day of the start is still in the indefinite future, but Robert Esnault-Pelterie says it's coming and prominent scientists don't dis agree with him.

 This fantastic plan was present. ed recently by Esnault- Pelterie to the newly formed committee of scientists who will make the awards

Once out of that range. he believes, the resistance would be so slight as to make possible speed a. hundred times as great as is yet possible with anything in which we can travel.
