Newspaper Page TextNo Space Trave IForseen For Awhile Scientists Predict HILTS 0 Several Guests Are Listed Washington OP) Man is still years away from space travel despite Russia's successful earth satellite, scientific circles said Saturday. These sources acknowledged that Russia has taken a definite step toward eventual interplan etary travel by human beings. But they said tremendous obsta cles must be overcome before man actually steps into outer space. Russian scientists, flushed with victory, are talking cohfi dently about sending rockets to the moon m a few years. But even before Moscow an nounced the first satellite, Am erican scientists had cautioned that such an achievement would mark only one preliminary phase of attaining man's ultim ate goal a manned flight to the moon and eventually Mars U.S. experts figure the Rus sians used a rocket weighing 184,000 pounds, including fuel, to push their 184-pound satellite into an orbit 560 miles high. No Small Achievement That was no small achieve ment. But the moon is 239,000 miles away. To escape earth's gravity and reach a target that May See Satellite With Naked Eye, Experts Predict Cambridge, Mass. fOT Ex perts said Saturday the man in the street will be able to see the Russian-launched satellite with the naked eye. However, officials said man's first look at an artificial moon will have to be made during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk. The chances would be even better to' see the satellite with even a cheap pair of bin oculars. Possible To Sea It It is possible, too, that the satellite can be seen after dark. Scientists said they don't know how long the satellite's light will remain burning but that it may be possible to see the object after dark because of the small light. They indicated, however, that the satellite's batteries will probably fade and the light will grow weaker as time progresses. "Operation Moonwatch" offic ials are attempting to establish the satellite's orbit to make it easier to locate the object in the sky. Beginning To Doubt Dr. Kenneth Drummond said however that the Smithsonian staff was "beginning to doubt each of the reports received. We have been able to establish ten tative orbits using two or three or four of the seven positions established by these reports but that is only by assembling them in various orders. We have not been able to establish any def inite orbit as yet." distant, scientists say they would need a rocket the size and weight of an ocean liner. A rocket must reach "escape velocity" to pull away from earth's gravity seven miles a second, or more than 25,000 miles an hour. And this speed would have to be attained over a much longer period than it took to fire the Soviet satellite 560 miles high, experts said. The point at which the pull of earth's gravity ceas es and the moon's gravity takes over is 215,000 miles into outer space. Such speed over a compara tively long period would require a tremendous fuel load. If a rocket weighing 1,000 tons were used, the fuel needed for "es cape velocity" would weigh more than 33,000 tons. A two- thousand ton "space shp" would have to carry 66,000 tons of fuel. Multiple stage rockets, jettison ing sections as fuel is exhausted is only a partial answer. Getting a giant rocket away from earth is one problem. Get ting men to ride it in safety is another. Humans Too Fragile The human body is unable to stand too rapid acceleration. It has been estimated that a 1,000- ton rocket would take eight min utes to reach escape velocity. Those eight minutes would be 500 seconds of torture for a hu man crew, trying to withstand an acceleration force four times that of gravity. Unknown dangers as well as discomfort would face the first interplanetary travellers. Scien tists have warned before man can step into outer space he must learn more about exposure to cosmic rays, the extent of me teor bombardment, and the psy chological effects of weightless, confined space travel. Most scientists have felt that the satellite program would sup ply many of these answers. Many have been quoted as be lieving that at least 10 and prob ably 15 years of information would have to be gleaned from unmanned satellites before manned rocket ships could at tempt flights to the moon. Other experts have predicted establish ment of manned "space-stations" hovering 500 miles or more above the earth as a prerequis ite to interplanetary travel.

Satellite Hunk Of Iron Navy Researcher Says Washington (IP) Rear Adm Rawson Bennett, chief of U.S naval research, said Friday night that the Russian satellite might be called "a hunk of iron" un less it turns out to have some scientific value. Bennett also said he believed the 184 pound weight cited by the Communists for their satel lite "must be in error." He said such a heavy weight was not consistent "with the perform ance of such a vehicle as we know it." The admiral made the state ment in an NBC radio interview. He said the United States must tike Russia's claims about its satellite at face value until they can be proved or disproved "by observing visually the alleged satellite." Bennett then was asked if he believed the intercontinental ballistics missile recently an nounced by Russia was actually designed to throw a satellite into space. , "I doubt very much that they had any connection, frankly," he replied.
