At the moment, however, even If the life support equipment existed, the Ml I I i United States simply does DA BY BEM PRICE AT Newsfeatures Writer HUNTSVUXE, Sept 30 up On launch pad at Cape Canaveral stands a large rocket booster named Saturn, often described as the United Kates Moon missile. It Unt It a starter, with luck It may hurl a water-filled dulnmy second stage about 20( miles on Ita first flight planned for the week of October 18. Under present schedules the United States will launch 10 of these big boosters, 21 feet In diameter with 1.5 mfllton 'pounds of thrust, during the next three years.

The unit manufacturing cost of each, excluding the expense of research and development, la about $8 billion. AH 10 are to end up on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. None Is going to boost anything- to the Moon or even near It At best, the United States hopes to use these big boosters developing a force equivalent to 32 -million horsepower to hurl a 10-tcn model of a Moon capsule Into a 30O-mile-hiRh orbit by late 1964. UNDERLINING the extent of the Soviet Union's advantage In the race to the Moon, the Russians already have put two five-ton, man-carrying satellites and one seven-ton satellite Into orbit. Overtaking the Russians will require an effort more arduous and costly than any ever undertaken by the United States In peacetime.

The total bill will be high, perhaps as high as $40 billion. The problems are enormous, solvable but as yet unsolved. In time, the brains and skills available to whole segment ot U. S. Industry may well be mustered to further the Moon race effort.

Irj any such massive undertaking there will be arguments over the best road to victory. Jealousies and bureaucratic struggles for power. There Is one developing now and the race has barely begun. Irt essence, the argument Is over whether the final responsibility for the Moon race should be divided between the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center here which designed and built the Saturn booster and the space task group at Langley Air Force Base, Va.

Both are under National Aeronautic and Space Administration Jurisdiction. It remains to be seen what effect, If any. this have on America's progress In the space race. AS THINGS now stand, the race Is not hopeless. Dr.

Werner Von Braun, director of the Space Flight center, has said that despite the Russian's present lead, the United States has "a sporting chance." Aside from Dr. Von Braun, there is probably no other man In the country who knows more about the long-range problems of placing a man on the Moon than Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger, German-born director of the Research Projects Division. Dr. Stuhlinger Is a physicist.

He worked in Berlin with Dr. Hans Geiger, developer of the Geiger counter to detect radioac inlaid with ceramic tile FAMOUS LANE TABLES 98 29 each!

By late 1964 the United States hopes to have a rocket with a three-million-pound thrust booster which will be able to put a three-man capsule Into Moon orbit. This rocket will be known as the Saturn C-3. A DIRECT round-trip flight to the Moon will have to wait development of the 12 -million -pound thrust Nova rocket system. The development of the Nova parallels that of the Saturn C-3, though the latter Is much farther along. In Dr.

Stuhllnger's opinion, however, the United States cannot afford to sit around and wait for development of the Nova before attempting a Moon landing. "The C-3," said Dr. Stuhlinger, "can be used In the rendezvous technique. There are three possibilities, a rendezvous in Earth orbit, a rendezvous in lunar orbit and a rendezvous on the Moon itself." This rendezvous technique Is something like assembling a freight train in a marshaling yard. The C-3 would be used to hurl missile components Into orbit.

Once In orbit one part would chase another until it caught up. When this happened the two parts would be coupled automatically the a fashion as two railroad cars are Joined. In this fashion an entire missile could be assembled In orbit. The final step would be the launching of a capsule containing three men. The capsule would be mated to the assembled missile's nose.

Once the men reached the missile they would undertake a checkout using remote control instruments. If something needed repair they would be able to leave the capsule in pressurized space suits. Spare parts and even a specialist repairman would be only two hours away by rocket; fifth floor Peaney's Furniture MO DERN 1 tivity. He is an expert on the theory of electrical propulsion in space. During World War Dr.

Stuhlinger was In large measure responsible for developing the guidance and stabilization systems on the German V-2 rockets. The problems of going to the Moon, how man might get there and the role of the Saturn In the race were discussed with Dr. Stuhlinger. In an hour-long Interview. Although the Russians obviously have a lead in the development of larger rockets, they, too, have problems, said Dr.

Stuhlinger. -They are not much farther along on solutions than the United States.

Much less thrust is required to attain the 25.000 mile per hour speed necessary to escape the Earth's gravitational pull if the Moon launch takes place In orbit rather than on Earth. In all probability, the United States will attempt to use the rendezvous technique for its first Moon landing. It will not be simple.

At the moment the use of a space capsule similar to that which Cmdr. Alan Shepard rode on his brief flight through space is envisioned. There are those, however, who believe that by the time the United States is ready for the actual Moon attempt, space craft with folding wings will have been developed which will permit a controlled landing on the Moon. Before the landing Is attempted both the United States and Russia will have to develop methods of slowing down capsules before a landing on either Jie Moon or the Earth.
