Lesson 35-1 Space odyssey
The Moon is likelyto become the industrial hub of the Solar System, supplying the rocket fuelsfor its ships, easily obtainable from the lunar rocks in the form of liquidoxygen. The reason lies in its gravity. Because the Moon has only an eightiethof the Earth's mass, it requires 97 percent less energy to travel the quarterof a million miles from the Moon to Earth-orbit than the 200 mile-journey fromEarth's surface into orbit! This may sound fantastic, but it is easilycalculated. To escape from the Earth in a rocket, one must travel at sevenmiles per second. The comparable speed from the Moon is only 1.5 miles persecond.
