It is much the same with the spaceship — with the important difference that whereas the shell acquires its velocity in a few feet under an enormous acceleration , the spaceship has thousands of miles in which to build up speed at a rate ...

The ship may build up speed at once to lunar escape velocity ( 5,200 m.p.h. ) , which , it will be remembered , could be reached in four minutes under only one gravity . It would then travel back to Earth along an orbit similar to that ...

We have already pointed out , on page 73 , that the actual orientation or attitude of a spaceship has nothing to do with its direction of motion : it could be spinning or pointing in space in any manner without affecting its velocity .
