Debate Continues On The Moon's Makeup

By ALVIN B. WEBB Jr. United Press International HOUSTON (UPD—The question is, will an astronaut on the moon go crunch-crunch? Or will he silently ooze out of sight? This, in simplest terms, is the gist of perhaps the hottest debate in U.S. space science circles today. Around this one point may pivot this nation's chances of putting men on the moon by 1970. a Before committing astronauts

to a lunar landing, however, it is obviously wise to find out what they would be landing on. Aside from fanciful suggestions such as green cheese, scientists have long had some very definite ideal) concerning the moon’s physical make-up. Unfortunately, science is rarely of a uniform school of thought. The two predominant theories are poles apart. One suggests that the moon’s surface is hard or, at worst, rather crunchy or brittle. The other

speculates that the top lunar layer is a sea of dust from 10 to 100 feet deep. Debate Pepa Up Along came the spectacular success of the Ranger-7 lunar probe in mid-summer, and for a time it seemed the debate was over. Scientists in charge of that program proclaimed the moon's cup to be running over with good landing fields. But, often as not, a scientific accomplishment purporting to answer one question serves only

to raise two more. Thus it was —and is—with Ranger-7. The scientific camp still argues crunchy moon versus dusty • moon, and each used the spectacular pictures from Ranger-7 to support its view. Both sides have drawn the support of noted and respected scientists. Dr. Gerald P. Kuiper of the University of Arizona and Dr. Eugene M. Shoemaker of the US. Geological Survey contend the moon's skin is rather like that of hard snow, strong enough to support a landing spaceship. Other Views The other view is no less well represented. Foremost is Dr. Harold Urey, Nobel Prize winner and professor at large of the University of California. Only a-half-step behind Urey is Dr. Thomas Gold of Cornell University, a top astronomer who is perhaps better known for his controversial theories concerning the development and compos?ion of the univer’e. Range-7, it seems, established no winner. It is doubtful Rangers 8 through 10, scheduled for launching in 1903, will make any greater progress toward resolving the debate. The U.S. man-to-the-moon Aiollo program is proceeding, albeit cau'iously, on the presumption that Kuiper and Shoemaker are closer to the truth. But a final answer probably will be delayed until 1986, when America's rocket muscles are powerful enough to deliver an elaborate payload named surveyor to a soft landing on the moon. Television pictures from . the probe should answer this question once and for all. Annual Sale Held By Holstein Assn.
