Did scientists belive the atmospheric pressure dropped lineerally rather than logarithicmicly? (Am I correct?) Ha! Mechanical television! Paging Mr. Farnsworth! What? No clouds on earth?

Werner von Braun's idea of multi-stage rockets cut back greatly on the necessary fuel. The elimination of night would play havoc with plant and animal life. And putting turbines behind a rocket motor would be a HUGE waste of energy, a major increase in mass and absolutely useless in space. But the Soviet idea of a TV in space would rock the world when finally made real. A few mistakes-
