Abstract
At intervals in the history of transportation, certain major inventions have appeared which increased the previous speed of travel by an almost staggering amount within a few years after their introduction. The most obvious past examples of this are the locomotive and the airplane, each of which multiplied the previously existing speed record by a factor of about five during the first four decades of its development. In our present generation, a new vehicle has now appeared which promises a still more incredible increase in transportation velocity, as revolutionary in its possibilities and as challenging to the imagination as the locomotive and the airplane were in past generations. I refer, of course, to the modern high-power rocket.
