Telescopes at the bottom of the earth's thick and turbulent atmosphere cannot learn many details about Mars, but the biggest of them, says the report, should give more attention to the Martian problem. Telescopes carried aloft by balloons should study Mars intensively through the transparent upper layers of the atmosphere, and satellite-carried telescopes should take the work another step forward...
...does not claim to know how the moon became lighthearted. One possibility is that it was originally formed of rather light rock that froze and became rigid, perhaps entrapping gases deep below the surface. Then, during two or three billion years, meteors rained on its surface, building up a thick layer of iron and other heavy materials. The truth of this ingenious theory will not be susceptible to a final check until a seismograph set by man on the moon's surface studies its interior by means of moon-quake waves...
