E 검토 사설 1492년 콜럼버스는 대서양이라 불리는 미지의 바다를 수천 마일 항해한 후 신세계를 발견했습니다. 그것은 위대한 모험이었지만, 비웃음과 조롱을 받았고 심지어 "어리석은 짓"이라고까지 불렸습니다. 여기 알려진 것 너머에 무엇이 있는지 찾고, 존재하지 않아야 할 땅의 미스터리를 풀기 위해 노력하는 소수의 사람들이 있었습니다. 그들이 가진 것은 항해에 충분할 것이라고 예상한 식량을 가득 실은 세 척의 작은 배뿐이었습니다. 회의론자들은 바다에 괴물이 들끓고 세상은 평평하며 떨어지는 곳이 있다고 말했습니다. 콜럼버스는 서인도 제도에 상륙하여 이러한 오류가 틀렸음을 증명했습니다. 우리 앞에 놓인 몇 년은 이와 같은 또 다른 위대한 모험을 보게 될 것입니다. 소수의 사람들이 특정 지정된 장소에 모여 콜럼버스 시대의 배와는 매우 다른 그들의 배에 오를 것입니다. 이 배는 로켓선이 될 것이고, 그 탑승자들은 새로운 세계, 새로운 민족, 새로운 개척지를 찾기 위해 광대한 우주 바다로 날아갈 것입니다. 그들은 비웃음을 당하고, 조롱을 당할 것이며, 이 모든 것은 지구상에서 가장 위대한 "어리석은 짓"이라고 불릴 것입니다. 그러나 과연 그럴까요? 시간은 불가능이 현실이 된다는 것을 증명했습니다. 자동차, 비행기, 라디오, 전화, 전신, 텔레비전, 그리고 원자 분열은 확실한 증거입니다. 믿는 자에게는 모든 것이 가능합니다. —그리고 저는 확고한 신봉자입니다!
E REVIEW EDITORIAL In 1492 Columbus discovered a new world after traveling thousands of miles across the great expanse of unknown waters called the Atlantic Ocean. It was a great adventure, yet one that was laughed at, ridiculed, and even spoke of as a "folly". Here was a small group of men searching for what lay beyond the known, endeavor- ing to unfold the mysteries of lands that were not supposed to exist. All they had were three small ships laden with provisions that they estimated would last the journey. The seas were infested with monsters, so the skeptics said, and the world was flat with a dropping off place. Columbus proved these fallacies to be wrong, when he landed in the West Indies. The years directly ahead of us will see another great adventure such as this. A small group of men will assemble in a certain designated place, climb into their ship, a ship vastly different than that of Columbus's time. This ship will be a rocket ship, and its oc- cupants will shoot off into the vast sea of space to find new worlds, new peoples, and new frontiers. They will be laughed at, they will be ridiculed, and the whole thing will be called the greatest "folly" on earth, but will it be such? Time has proven that impossibilities become realities, the automobile, the airplane, radio, telephone, telegraph, television, and the smashing of the atom are definite proof. All is possible to one who believes,—and I am a sound believer!

부편집장의 책상에서 우주의 신비는 오랫동안 지구상의 대부분의 사람들을 매료시켜 왔습니다. 맑은 밤하늘을 올려다볼 때 눈앞에 펼쳐지는 광경에 경외심을 느끼기 위해 천문학자일 필요는 없습니다. 우주의 광대함은 천문학자들에게도 설명하기 어렵습니다. 거리를 말할 때 학식 있는 사람들은 마일보다 "광년"이라는 용어를 사용하는 것이 더 간단합니다. 우리 지구와 같이 우주에 떠 있는 천체의 수는 알려져 있지 않습니다. 추측은 수백만 개 이상입니다. 그러나 그것들은 단지 추측일 뿐입니다. 우주 앞에서 한낱 재에 불과한 곳에 사는 우리는 지능적인 생명체가 오직 이곳에만 존재한다고 생각할 만큼 순진할 수 없습니다. 일어나는 모든 일에는 목적이 있다고 믿는 사람들은 우주의 수백만 개의 천체가 맑은 밤에 밝게 반짝이는 것 이상의 목적을 가지고 있어야 한다는 데 동의해야 합니다. 앨버트 K. 벤더 편집장, 맥스 크렌겔 부편집장이 분기별로 발행; 코네티컷주 브리지포트의 릴라이어블 프레스에서 인쇄. 구독료: 회원 4회 발행 $1.00; 비회원 연간 $1.40. 개별 사본 $.35.

FROM THE ASSOCIATE EDITOR'S DESK The mysteries of space have long fascinated most people on earth. One need not be an astronomer to gaze in awe at the sight which unfolds before the eyes as we gaze sky- ward on any clear night. The vastness of space is difficult to explain, even for astronomers. When distances are spoken of it is simpler for learned men to use the term "light years" than miles. The number of celestial bodies suspended in space like our own earth are unknown. The guesses are from millions on up. But they remain just that—guesses. We who make our home on a mere cinder of matter in the eyes of space, cannot be naive enough to think that intelligent life exists only here. Those who believe that there is a purpose for everything which happens, should agree that these millions of bodies in space must serve more of a purpose than just twinkling brightly on a clear night. Published quarterly by Albert K. Bender, Editor; Max Krengel, Associate Editor; Printed by Reliable Press, Bridgeport, Conn. Subscription Price: four issues, to members, $1.00; to non members, $1.40 per year. Individual copies $.35. Exclusive publication of the IFSB. P.O. Box 241, Bridgeport 2, Conn., U.S.A.
