VOYAGE TO MOON
"SPACE SHIP" PLAN LONDON, July 22. There is in England a group of men who are working steadily and unobtrusively on the most amazing project of all time —a voyage by "space ship" to the moon. Some idea of the progress of their researches is given in the July issue of the “Journal of the British InterPlanetary Society." “If 10 to 15 years could be spent on ground experiments, with all the necessary money and apparatus, then the construction of the space ship, based on our present design, could be undertaken with complete confidence,” it states. "To-day men in every country arc striving towards a new and greater goal. It is the vision of inter-plane-tary travel.” Towards this end the first designs for a. space ship have already been published. The July “Journal” contains diagrams of the “Automatic firing control of lunar space ship."
