1. A rocket which will leave the earth and never come back will be the beginning of a spqST station.

A space station will travel around the earth forever, at a speed of five miles per second.

Nos. 1 and 2 are both true. If ut rocket is sent out from the carth fast enough and for enough it will FALL AROUND THE

from under the rocket as it falls.

This rocket would fall forever without changing ita distance from the surface of the earth. It would keep the same speed be- cause there is no air in space to slow it. Even though the station will move at a speed of five miles per second, one will not notice the motion because every- thing about him will be moving at the same speed. Actually, the earth, itself, travels around the sun at more than twice that spoed.

3. At the space stafió”, men and supplies will have titacit- cally no weight.

True. There will be very little gravity on the space station because of its small size. It will haye only a gentle pull com- pored with that of the earth.

They marked the map with that misleading X and with five other letters A, B, C, D, and E

Only they knew which letter really marked the treasure spot. Only they and YOU! For you can find out too. Now Imagine you are in a boat approaching the island. You have to land and, with the map, find the treasure.

First, you must find out why Then it is NOT burled at X you must rule out, one by one, the other spots until you find the real hiding placo,
