TRAVEL TO THE MOON BY THE YEAR 2050

By the year 2050, Earth-dwellers will probably be able to travel to the moon and to communicate with their terrestrial home by telephoning over a beam of light. They will get there by traveling in a rocket ship at a speed of some 50,000 miles an hour, but far sooner, probably 1950, it is likely that a speed of 1,000 miles an hour will be possible.
