The time will come when a spacecraft carrying human beings will leave the earth and set out on a voyage to distant planets - to remote worlds.

The launching of the first two Soviet Sputniks has already thrown a sturdy bridge from the earth into space, and the way to the stars is open

The way to the stars is open.
