moon are balanced the ship will begin to
accelerate, increasing its speed until, at the
appropriate moment, rockets are discharged
toward the moon, decelerating the ship to
rest on the lunar surface.
"On return the ship would be accelerated,
by rocket discharge to lunar release velocity,
and then be permitted to coast under momen-
tum.
"Repassing balance point, the ship would
accelerate in free fall towards the earth,
until, at the appropriate moment, rockets
were again discharged. decelerating the ship
TO a velocity at which ii would be safe to
reenter the earth's atmosphere.
From this point the ship would complete
its descent by parachute. or other ar-break-
ing device"
Compactness is essential to reduce both
container weight and the overall dimensions
of the ship TO reasonable figures.

hoped that when it is found possible to re-
sumo, considerable improvement will be
shown in the performance of solid fuels
IF this proves to be the case, their greater
density and inherent structural rigidity will
make important foundation for their claims as
the most suitable fuel for rocket ships.
"At the moment, however our design
provides for multitude solid fuel rocket
motors, arranged that they could be cleo
tricaly ignited in multiples TO provide any
desired thrust factor The arrangement of
these tubes. in honeycomb formation, is of
such inherent rigidity that great structural
economy may be achieved.
"An additional advantage claimed for this
type Of construction is that they may so be
linked that when they cease thrust, they au-
tomatieally detach themselves and drop off,
thus increasing efficiency by reducing dead
weight at the earliest possible moment"

A further great

then asked about fuel and he replied:
'The reason advanced by some expert
menters for the use of liquid fuels is that by
valving and throttling the mixtures it is
possible to control their rate of combustion
This is perfectly valid argument, so far
as it'goes, and no doubt liquid fuels are very
suitable for any purpose other than that of
providing the main bulk of the fuel of large
scale space ship.
Liquid fuels exist which could provide a
high order of thermo-chemical energy. and
there are few solid fuels, yet developed
that can compare with them in this respect

TO the outbreak of war, engaged in

w ing in to,t. to be the the first first
on the moon?
With no other countries
left TO discover" on this earth, and
with the Axis powers looking around
for new lands on which to carry out
their plans for aggression, the moon
may be next in the news.
Indeed. il is worth recalling that as
far back as 1884. in an interview
published in the Deutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung, Professor Guthnich, Director
of the State Observatory at Neuba-
belsberg, near Berlin, expressed the
distant when some definite and direct
means of communication between the
earth and the moon would be dis
covered.
Il am certain" he said, Saat
should some urgent necessity arise to
compel us to attempt the task, we
could conquer the moon with the re-
sources already at our disposal.
IF ever 1t really must be made.
am certain that the Germans will be
the first to make it. The Swastka,
in fact, must be the first national flag
to be placed on the moon"
1t may be, of course, that Hitler
and his German scientists have select
ed the moon as a spot to which they
will dash to escape the righteous pun
ishment that the victorious Allies will
one day decide TO mete out.
The Germans have already taken
the lead in experimenting in rockets,
and it is claimed that they have al
readv made and sIlccpasfiIllv oparat Oh

enormous self-driven rockets capable of trans
porting men comparatively long distances
Nevertheless, the Germans are not having
it all their own way in this matter of fixing up
a trip to the moon, or to some other plane
tary body.
Here in England a Lunar Vessel is being
planned The design is ready; experiments
have been carried out.
The only thing which is holding up real
trial is the shortage of raw materials.
But wartime difficulties have not dis
couraged the members of the British Inter-
planetary Society from carrying on with their
plans.
The idea however, is an intriguing one
Those responsible have thought out every
thing. They believe that the 23S,S40 miles
between the earth and the moon could be COW
cred in about 45 hours.
The bump which is TO be expected on hit
ting the moon will be avoided by the firing off
of huge rockets as brakes and the letting
down of six retractable landing legs, whilst
the bump the return journey will be pre-
vented by the simple election of an enormous
parachute TO break the fall when the ship hits
the air of the earth again
During the main part of the Journey
however, the lunar-lner would be able to
coast under it's own momentum, a momentum
accelerated by a complicated device which
would cause the vessel to rotate on its own
axis and thus produce additional centrifugal
force.
To get as many details as possible of this
extraordinary scheme for the readers of The
American Weekly. sought out the enterpris-
ing but elusive secretary of the society, Mr..
r. A. Smith.
In a rocket flight such as this. 99.9et of
the journey to the moon would be made in
airless space" Mr.. Smith began
Three minutes after taking off, the limits
of the atmosphere would be reached and a
further four and half minutes would be re-
quired to attain the necessary velocity TO shut
off the propelling rockets to enable the
ship TO coast
Ever since IL was realized that the
propulsive effect Of a rocket is the result
Of the reaction upon it of the acceleration
impaired TO the emitted gasses" he con-
tinued, "it has been obvious that in this
reaction lay the possibility of producing
tractive effect indepedent of the surround
ing medium.
Granted that the tIactivc effect is
there. the next question to arise is whether
il is OF sufficient magnitude TO make pos
sible flight TO the moon and back.
Those who have considered such a
light think of it in the following terms:
"Acceleration in the shortest possible
time TO release velocity with jets at full
blast This velocity having been attained
sufficient momentum would have been built
up 70 carry the ship, at steadily decreasing
velocity, TO the lunar orbit The force OF
gfavitation acting on the ship would deccl-
crate IL. but its momentum would prevent
its being brought 10 rest.
