ROCKET TO HIT THE
MOON !
in 36 Hours' Flight.
Some time in the next few wooks, if Professor R. H. Goddard, a woll-known American mau of salonce, has made no mistake in j his preliminary calculations, the man in the moon will receive the first message our-satellite as: ruceived from the earth since it broke away from our planet, u few million years ago,
The professor has cotistructed a gigantic rockat of a uniquo kind. It will be fired from a specially disigned apparatus, which, It is claimed, will givo 10th necessary. initial velocity to overcome the barloward, pull of the earth's'
asper of about gravitation soven miles a second,
When it has altaimel this region fnt inter-plagetary spare it is 4x- pected to continue its light to the moon, Fira propolling power boing supplied by continuous explosions of gar, automatically produced by Laugans of an ingeniously designed
internal mechanism.
Approximately 36 hours after the rocket leaves the earth, if all goes well. it is expected to reach its Junur target.
When it falls on the surface of the moon there will ha un expla sion of a charge of "Victor Bash powder which will produce a bril- Tant Dash of light that ought to be visiblo from the earth in a mo- derately sizod telescopo, and thus signal hack its safe arrival.
For some years Professor God- shard has been varrying out ox- periments with rockots designed to attain very great altitudes, and with those has had no difficulty in reaching heights far in excusa of those possible by means of meteorological balloons.
The results of these experi- Lionts uggested that it would bo possible to fire a rocket propelled by successive discharges govern ed by ruloading mechanism, free of terrestrial gravitation, and even to reach the moon, provided it ware accurately aimed at the section of the moon's orbit, which the 11001 would be passing through at any dolinite timo, calenlated beforehand, after the rocket was fired.
MAY THY MARS NEXT.
Ho has satisfied American seientist- that the thing is pus- sible, and the Smithsonian {Institution bas Agrees " provide at least 4,000 dollars (over £1,10) towards the penser of the experiment.
UX-
Professer Goddard is confident that he will be able tu hit the moon and see the impact.
If ho succoods he may try Mars when that planet is nearest the earth next August. But it is
to hu hoped that, should the Martians send a reply back by the-same-moth-they will arrange 10 use the Sahara as their target.
Fortunately the moon is doad and inhabitasi, and a retoris rokot from the nibon to the earth is a danger we need not worry about.
