PRESS i to operate all the local news publisted | in Islands in Space (New York Times) It is hard to undertsand the furor raised by the! German proposal to send rocket-ships to a point in space 5000 miles distant and there build a pl.numm‘ or island for a sodium mirror which is to concentrate | the sun's rays on the earth to generate power. The Army offic who discovered plans for a ‘“space island” in German archives evidently knew nothing of rocket history and primed the correspondents with information which has been available in print ever since 1928. In that year the late Count Potocnic, a | retired officer of the Austrian Army, who wrote under the pen name “Hermann Noordung,” devoted a wholé pamphlet to islands in space. He was followed by ' Count Guido von Pirquet, a practicing engineer: ! Hermann Oberth, and others—all excellent physicists and mathematicians. A popular American scientific periodical took Potocnic’s plans and embellished them and present U, S. | in the best pulp-magazine fashion, so that some thou- a's boys knew all about them long before the Mad as islands in space may seem, they could be created in theory. Von Pirquet insisted on them because they were needed as refueling stations for rocket-ships bound for Mars and Venus.

The astronauts displayed extraordinary ingenuity in their plans. Islands which were to become little moons were placed (on paper) at various distances from the earth and their periods of revolution cal- culated. Count Potocnic had the best idea.
