The rocket will weigh more than 1000 tons and will carry a crew of three to the moon in 48 hours. Harper also said, in the publication, News of the World, that in the design stage were helmeted spacesuits to enable the space voyagers to breath on the moon and in outer space. The suits were described as similar to diving suits but lighter and much easier to wear. He also stated that the development of atomic power as a propulsive force will open up wide areas of interplanetary rocket research and that expeditions in the future might attempt trips to Mars and Venus. ____________________________ FIRST AVON FANTASY READER IS OUT ----------------- The Avon Fantasy Reader, edited by Donald A.
