to breaking the sound barrier
This is laurel on which a man
might very well rest, at least
long enough to describe it to
mortals who have never even
fallen down the cellar steps.
Not Capt. Sperry. What he is
interested in is what comes next;
how it will be with the human
who jumps from 10000 or 100,-
900 feet. His own feat is history,
documentary recalled in the
movie, ION The Threshold of
Space" on which Capt. Sperry
was a technical adviser. Only
q secondary one, he wants it
made clear.
OF the picture, Capt. Sperry
will talk freely. It deals, and
quite automatically in its techni-
cal details. with the work of a
team Of scientific adventures of
which Capt. Sperry rates himself
q minor member. The object of
this Air Force group is to find
out how much speed, vertical and
horizontal, the human body can
take.
The feats it performs to find
out this truth pale that of John
Landy, who has proved six times
that the human body can run a
mile in less than four minutes.
y X 4 4
Ask Capt. Sperry how it feels
to fall free almost five miles be-
fore opening your parachute and
he will tell you:
1T is described accurately and
fully in the picture" This is a
description so impersonal that it
makes the jump sound like a fic-
tional feat being performed by
Guy Madison.
So, you try another tack, this
one from the oblique, like this:
There is, of course, terminal
velocity for falling bodies" This
makes a monkey out of the
physics prof who once taught
you that lon square rule.
"Oh, yes" says Capt. Sperry
who is too young to have debts
to pay off to teachers who didn't
know either. "You may hit a
maximum fall speed of 800 miles
an hour. but as air density in
creases as you approach the
earth, you show down to per-
haps less than half that"
But all this, Capt. Sperry
makes clear. is mere prologue
to the real problem Of finding
out how far into outer space
and into inconceivable speed the
human body can safely travel.
He is happy that the movie
brings everyone up to date, but
it is the future in which he is
really interested.
The future, for instance, in
which that satellite will begin to
roam outer space. This, one
gathers, is how it is with the
real spacemen; once they get
going, they never want to stop.
Or, once they have been out
there, their only purpose in COM
ing back here is to redesign
their equipment.
