Pioneering idea for space flight fuels and craft design
Dr I M Levitt of Philadelphia's planetarium outlines a cigar shaped rocket about 250 feet long and 75 feet in diameter. Fuel could be a mix of alcohol and liquid oxygen but attaining escape velocity is the major hurdle. Step rockets might provide the extra push to reach two miles per second, after which the ship would orbit Earth and serve as a base for weather, radar, experiments, and global navigation observations.
