Lesson 35-1 Space odyssey

The Moon is likely to become the industrial hub of the Solar System, supplying the

rocket fuels for its ships, easily obtainable from the lunar rocks in the form of liquid

oxygen. The reason lies in its gravity. Because the Moon has only an eightieth of the

Earth's mass, it requires 97 per cent less energy to travel the quarter of a million miles

from the Moon to Earth-orbit than the 200 mile-journey from Earth's surface into orbit!

This may sound fantastic, but it is easily calculated. To escape from the Earth in a

rocket, one must travel at seven miles per second. The comparable speed from the Moon

is only 1.5 miles per second.、
