EQUALS MOON TRIP

The 36-year-old Oklahoma as- tronaut made a trip that ap- proximated in length the dis— tance to the moon and back.

However. it would take some on hours to reach the moon. in contrast to Cooper's 34-hour flight. The average specd in space flight to the moon would be about half that of earth-or- biting. This is largely because of the pull of earth gravity in a flight to the moon. Gravuy has no effect on flight in orbit.
