Your info on velocity and gravity is good to have.

Drop a bulled from 6 feet and it takes two seconds to fall to the ground. Fire a bullet, flat, straight and level, from 6 feet at a velocity of 2,000 feet per second and it will hit the ground in two seconds. Use an electrical weapon that will charge up slowly and release all at once, like lighting, no recoil. In 1959 the US Army was planning on a Moon base. http://www.history.army.mil/faq/horizon/Horizon_V1.pdf Nuclear power was in use, it would power a Moon base and charge up vehicles and weapons. The Nautilus traveled under the North Pole in 1958. Most of what you say could have happened, with enough national will and money.Mike Bunkermeister Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875990546662630863noreply@blogger.com
