Thus We are now in the position of having real
and compelling reason to explore space - but the
space ships build cannot possibly take us

obsolete before it launched.
Must We then abandon the thrilling hope of
communication with neighbors in space? No,
say DR.. Bracewell and other space scientists. Not
only can We entertain serious hopes of exchanging
messages with such neghbors but We may already
today be receiving messages from them that wait
only to be detected and decoded!
DR.. Bracewers exciting argument runs thus
Given the enormous number of planets on which
life may exist, plus the fact that many of them are
far older than our Earth, the probability becomes
strong that there many civilizations much older
and consequently much farther advanced than ours
Such civilization may, for example, have reached
our present level of civilization long ago. Its
scientists would have confronted the problem of

space exploration Just doing today - and
would have reached the same conclusions
reaching, that intersellar space flight is impractical,
but that other means might be used to communicate
with planets such ours
What are these other means? Radio waves.
Science has long known that these waves travel at
the speed of light But about five years ago
significant discovery made: universal radio
frequency" exists throughout the whole universe,
the result of the universal dispersion of hydrogen
gas. The enormous possibilities of this universal
frequency" in interplanetary communication we're
first expressed by Professors Giuseppe Cocconi and
Philip Morrison of Cornell University in now
famous paper published this year in British
scientific magazine.
Thus science now believes it is perfectly feasible
for distant and fabulous beings in outer space to
beam coded radio signals to on Earth, using the
universal frequency"
Our "neishbors" may be eollins!
But Dr. Bracewell doubts that will pick up
direct radio signal from neghbors The
reason for this is simply mathematical probability
the betting odds Because of the small proportion OF
stars that may support life, and the enormous
distances involved, it's probable that our nearest
living neighbors are hundred more light years
away = six hundred trillion miles. Further, they
probably began searching for long ago. Therefore
indefinitely, and although such an advanced civili-
zation would have no economic problems IN our
sense, it would still want to use the most efficient
possible means to hunt for us. The most efficient
means, DR.. Bracewell is convinced, would be

ceivable - far beyond anything We have
on the drawing boards - could fly at
the speed of light. Nothing in the uni
verse can move faster than this. Yet
such ship, even flying for century,
could reach only tiny handful of
nearby stars. In the vast reaches of the
universe, that's like having an auto
mobile that can barely get out of your
driveway.
The point is, that although chances of

That small role will of course, be worth pursuing,
and We will soon be sending men to the moon, and
eventually with good luck to Venus, Mars and
Jupiter, and perhaps even more distant planets OF
our own solar system. But what about beyond?
The conriction is practically unanimous among
scientists today that planet in our O,cn solar
system is inhabited BY intelligent life. but that

of inhabited uOrlds. Discoveries about the temper
aures of stars have led to the belief that in the Milky
Wav galaxy the city of which solar sys
TEN is tnv suburb, there exist no fewer than ten
billion stars of the type sum- circled by
planets like our suns. Even if life existed only
a small fraction of them, the small fraction of ten
billion would mean many, many inhabited worlds.
Ms too far to ay
Such worlds are naturally by far the most exciting
prospect in our plans for space exploration. Their
existence at first glance, would seem to make the
space ship urgently desirable than ever. The
trouble is distance. The swiftest space ship con-
