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.
