Urey Explains
Moon Theory
BY WILLIAM HINES
Star ScieneS Writer

The moon may have been
UP there q hundred million
years before the earth was
formed, in the opinion Of DR..
Harold C. Urey, Nobel prize
winning chemist turned cos
mologist.
DR.. Urey explained his views
Of the earth's origins In q
paper presented today before
the National Acad denny Of
Sciences. Summarized, his the
ory is about like this:
It all started many billions
Of years ago with q great
explosion Of o supernova, a
star gone mad. From the debris
our sun was born.
Spinning rapidly, the sun
took on the look of q big
Saturn. with Q ring of gas and
dust around its equator. Globs
OF this material gradually Goa
lesced into moon-sized objects
with large gaseous clouds
around them.
This could happen only while
there was a large amount Of
material in the plane of the
suns equator. shielding the
embryonic moons from the
suns terrific heat.
AS the moons formed, the
Saturn-like ring around the
sun gradually cleared UP. and
the light gases that make UP
nearly all the suns mass, and
formed the clouds around the
moons. were dissipated by the
suns radiant energy.
One of these solidified OBJ
jects, a rocky sphere about
1000 miles in diameter, became
our moon. In DR.. Urey'S view,
1t is a primitive object"
For . million centuries the
moon looked on as other moon
sized objects were drawn
together by their mutual grav-
itational attraction. These
objects. plus smaller pieces Of
celestial debris, gradually be-
came the earth we live on. The
earth has q mass equal to
about 80 moons.

ASSAULT ON SPACE
Apollo Project to Put
Several Men in Space

Dyna-Soar plane would be In
tolerable. So, for obvious rea-
sons Of personal hygiene and
comfort, would be the necessity
of wearing a pressurized space
suit. Apollo will have to provide
the second generation of space
men with what is called a
"shirtsleeve environment"
Ideally, the Apollo AStro-
nautS will 60 about their busi-
ness in slackS and shirts, or
possibly ordinary Air Force fly
ing suits. They probably will
eat palatable foods brought
along from earth and will
breathe an atmosphere based
on bottled oxygen. Their water
requirements will be taken care
of by a recycling system which
will purify for reuse the liquid
given off in breathing, perspl-
ration and bladder function.
Laboratory in Space
Because the Apollo capsule
will have to be fairly big, it will
be able to double as a space
laboratory. There are many
things we would like to know
about materials performance in
outer space which will remain
a mystery until men can get
out there to do experiments.
This phase Of Apollo-called
Apollo Ais regarded as the
first step on the way to build
ing a space station which would
orbit the earth and perhaps
serve as jumping-o place for
manned expeditions to the
moon and beyond.
Apollo B is conceived as the
vehicle for q trip from earth
out to the moon. then around
the moon one or more times,
and back to earth again. Much
farther in the future - not
within the decade Of the SOS
comes Apollo c, q spaceship
capable Of landing men on the
moon and then taking them
safely back to earth again.
To be Assembled in Space
Apollo initially will be based
on Mercury technology, with
the result that the first Apollo
capsules probably will be just
| big, roomy Mercurys. They OBJ
viouSly will have to re-enter
the earth's atmosphere and
land softly enough not to harm
the crew. Later Apollo A-type
space stations undoubtedly will
be assembled in orbit and will
remain there indefinitely. being
reSupplied from earth by rem
devious techniques not now
perfected.
