Hypothetical rocket system, exhaust mass of which attains velocity of light; consideration of relativity with reference to time and distance for interplanetary space craft; predictions of time, speed and fuel mass required for various destinations; theoretical conditions under which time span of one human life would be long enough for travel around total static universe. From paper at Conference on Jet Propulsion at Freudenstadt, and Report 5 of Research Inst for Physics of Jet Propulsion, Stuttgart.
