I article is a collection of science fiction works and a number of AC?: S;Si propositions by the Russian author, X. E. Taso~hovsky. i__ny of his ideas and proositions have proven to be inmacurate,.bt nevertheless he did accurately He pradescribe so-e possibilities of the space enviroient as we knw it today. of pain the relieves this and Dosed that the absence of gravit.y facilitates work, supplying for the aged and the ill. He proposed the use of a special green house food and the restoration of wastes into usable air and water. All necessary energy was to be obtained by mirors from the sun's rays, which Tsiolkovaky thought were being wasted for the most part. He gives an adequately accurate description of the moon's landscape, but he is prosupposing too -uch in the description of native life on the moon and other planetu, especially without an atmosphere, and the ease with which gravity is defied. Telolkorsky also underestimated some suppositions abouz the acceleration force in the absence of gravity and the danger of meteorite collision. He overestimated the possibility of using a liquid medium for reducing "e" forces on Man during acceleration and the possibility of "cataching" meteorites with nets as one would catch utterflies. Some other improbable conceptions of his are the distances underestimation of using mirrors to create temperature increases at great from the sun, the assumption that all starts have planetary systems, migrations to other planets is a neceseity, the estimation of the sun's '"cooling"and other destroying the Earth, forcing humanity to find another home by migration to. Despite his innaccurate assump.iont, his a-riole ar-e of planets.
