Topology, often called "flexible geometry,"is characterized and symbolized by the viewpoint that a circle and a triangle are equal.
LUNAR LONGING
In the October 18, 1952, issue of Collier's, von Braun imagines man's first trip to the moon. He sketched out the "orbit-to-orbit space ship," which he designed to transport people from a space station to lunar orbit. The 190-foot- (58-meter-) tall spaceship houses 50 astronauts in its top sphere. The ship carries a radio dish for communication and a "solar mirror" for energy. Von Braun wrote that the sun's heat would vaporize the element mercury to drive a generator.
