into the hospital after a rough go
with the Italian Alps.

Sherpa guide who conquered tow
ering Mt. Everest in' the Hima

No broken bones, doctors told
the famed mountaineer after
J x-ray examination. Just a bad
sprain.
Now a ski instructor at the
mountaineering school in Dar
jeeling, India, Norgay had a spill
on a practice run. He is here to
; pick up some of the finer points
j from Alpine ski teachers.’1

Here Is Why A
Man-Made Moon
Can Stay in Space
NEW YORK, UR—Still puzzling
why a man-made moon can stay
up in space?
It’s not mysterious — gravity
and speed are the reasons.
The satellite is traveling fast
enough to counter balance the
earth’s pull of gravity. So it
keeps circling the earth, not un
like a ball swung on the end of
an invisible string.
Its powerful rocket takes off
straight up, but then curves in its
flight. Finally it is ilying parallel
to the earth’s surface, about 200
miles up, going about 10,000 miles
an hour. . .
Now the last stage of the rockeft
fires off and the little moon is
kicked up to about 18,000 miles
an hour.
It tries to keep going “straight.”
But the earth’s gravity is trying
to haul it down. At 18,000-mile
per-hour speed, the little moon is
going fast enough to offset this
pull, but the pull makes it fall
into an orbit round and round the
earth.
Our ancient regular moon
swings around us for exactly the
same reason — it’s going fast
enough in the vacuum of space to
offset the earth’s gravity pull.
If you shot the little moon
straight up in the air, even at
18,000 miles an hour, it would fall
back to earth. For as it went up,
gravity would be acting as a
brake, and would slow it down,
bring it to a halt, and bring it
hurtling down again. Gravity
would do this even if the moon
went 100,000 milefc above the
earth.
But zip it up to 25,000 miles
an hour, and the little moon—or
space ship — could escape the
earth’s gravity and go wandering
through space.
That’s the speed it will take
for a rocket to land on the real
moon.
