not a faraway dream for future genmtastic energy necessary to hurl a

is no longer beyond our technological means. This
chart has been prepared to help people better understand the basic make-up of the Solar System and
the fundamental problems that confront the scientist
in his efforts to push back the vast frontiers of space.
