...powerful than the earth's) from the rocket's acceleration piles tip a crushing impact on the spaceman, whose normal weight -say 150 Ibs. -multiplies to three-quarters of a ton. On the outer skin of his capsule, hurtling away from earth at 25,000 m.p.h., the friction of the atmosphere generates temperatures tip to 1,600°F.
