The years of space flight since the orbiting of Sputnik I back in 1957 had produced many fascinating results, but they had also brought a realization of the many problems that surrounded the use of rockets for space flight. Donald A. Wollheim Read Quote
Once solved, the severe handicaps imposed on space exploration by the weight and chemical limitations of rockets would no longer apply. The whole timetable of our conquest of the planets in our solar system would be tremendously speeded up, from hot Mercury all the way out to frigid Pluto. Donald A. Wollheim Read Quote
While the circumnavigation of the solar system seems farfetched, it may not be once the problem of effective anti-gravitational control is solved. Donald A. Wollheim Read Quote
I think that the first men to land on Pluto are going to make some very astonishing discoveries. But I am also sure that they will never go there in rockets. They will have to make the immense trip by some more powerful means – like the anti-gravitational drive. Donald A. Wollheim Read Quote
