Spaceship Earth:
"After at least two million years of experience aboard it, many of the almost four billion amateur astronauts aboard Spaceship Earth have become theoretically well informed regarding a few behavioral characteristics of a meager fraction of the celestial phenomena. But none of them-- excluding possibly the Russian and U.S.A. professional spacemen (the three bears, Goldilocks, and her father) – as yet consciously and realistically sense that their own planet is a spaceship and see and feel themselves zooming through Universe upon that spherical ship. . . .
“Because the Spaceship Earth is also spinning equatorially at 1,000 miles per hour as it orbits the Sun at 60,000 miles per hour, when we launch a tiny, two- or three-man-carrying, capsule by rocket from our Earth Spaceship, we must give the capsule an additional acceleration boost of approximately 16,000 miles per hour in order to break out of Earth’s gravitational pull. This means that we on out big mother Spaceship Earth must give our small space ‘launches’ a local space speed of 76,000 mph., or 16,000 mph. faster than Spaceship Earth’s”
