The radiation apparently is less intense above the North and South poles Eimer of California Institute of technology s Jet propulsion Laboratory said. If this is True All we need is a site from which to launch toward one of the poles and we already have that at Vandenberg he said. Chin launch South Vandenberg 170 Miles to the North was chosen As the site for several project discoverer launch Ings this year because it can hurl satellites southward into Polar orbit. No other known missile base can do this without endangering populated areas. Only the Pacific Ocean lies Between the base an the South pole. A recent report of the american National committee of the inter National geophysical year de scribed the dangers of attempting to travel through the radiation zones which Girdle the Earth like two huge doughnuts one outside the other. The first zone lies roughly be tween 1,400 and 3,400 Miles above the Earth s surface the second be tween 8,000 and 12,000 Miles. These zones As charted by satellites an space probes Are saturated with deadly radiation believed trapped in the Earth s magnetic Field. Rishiy journey a Man in a space rocket bound for the Moon or another planet might Streak through these zone fast enough to survive said Eimer. And he might not. It de pends on the kind of radiation in the danger areas and that is still to be determined.
