As I noted earlier, my principal position in the classified Advanced Design Section on the MTM-622 was to study
each of the interplanetary and intergalactic propulsion systems, conceive and define a physical configuration,
and conceive and define the resulting spaceship/spacecraft carriers. In some cases I established a primary
configuration and two tradeoff configurations for staff review. Also, I was frequently asked to conceive/define
the potential assembly, checkout and launch facilities that would be required for these enormous space ships,
and even illustrate prospective sketches of the entire ship and details of the gravitational reaction propulsion
system.

DAC ABSTRACT AND COMMENTS
Most of the book (Serial # 001) is devoted to liquid fuel rockets, only the last chapter deals with what today (1950) would be
called an unconventional method of propulsion: viz. Ionic; he called it “electric propulsion.” Oberth states categorically that
contemporary science knows of three devices which would, theoretically, permit impelling a vehicle to escape velocity: the
rocket, the electromagnetic gun (firing from a fixed emplacement) and the electric wind engine. He admits that electric
propulsion from take-off would entail “gigantic” expenditures. However, as soon as a satellite station is established on a super-
atmospheric orbit, he advocates electric propulsion as a means to produce two to ten times greater exhaust velocities than by
chemical rocket engines and thus attain the speeds necessary for fast interplanetary travel. Oberth was very enthusiastic
about this type of (IONIC) interplanetary vehicle but only for travel between satellite stations or asteroids.

In more recent utterances (1952) Oberth has repeatedly indicated that he still believes in the merits of ion beam propulsion and
he made “MYSTIFYING REMARKS ABOUT RECENT EXPERIMENTAL PROGRESS IN THIS DIRECTION.” During 1951 - 53 he worked for
the Italian Navy in La Spezia. CHEMICAL FU ELS ARE REGARDED AS PRACTICALLY OBSOLETE. ( 1 9 5 0 )
Emphasis was placed on discharging atomic particles at high velocities in an electric rocket motor design. A motor consisting of a
linear accelerator and an ionizer was found the most possible type of motor for our future interplanetary space vehicle proposals
Before we continue, stop and think about what you have just read. The German scientists and engineers had been designing
space-type vehicles, utilizing alien information, since the 1920’s. Visualize what we, at the Douglas Engineering Advanced Design
Think Tank, were actually studying, conceiving and designing way back in 1951. Can you possibly realize how far ahead of the
rest of the planet we actually were? And why it has taken nearly eighty-five years for the rest of the planet to get on board too?
How and why did this entire, technical explosion, which was instigated by the aliens, get started on our little planet? That’s an
excellent question. When reviewing a given problem with other people, it is always wise to try and think of things from the other
person’s point of view. For the moment, let’s assume that we were the aliens, having observed earth’s warring history, and very
slow progress, for thousands of years. If we chose to help them get their act together, we might start first with what
appeared to be the most technical advanced group of people we could find on their little planet. Yes, we would have watched the
Wright Brothers first flight, but is it not possible that we might also have given slightly more credit to that large group of
mechanical engineers on the other side of their planet? And start helping them telepathically, too?
Remember, since 1895, Germany had been building and flying enormous cigar-shaped dirigibles that “Crazy Count Zeppelin” had
designed. Their cities had monorail-based, overhead trams. Who got them started?
Now, people, what we have just said here is very interesting, because it says that the aliens can make mistakes, too. They may
not have given enough credit to the possible warlike attitude developing in some areas of the engineer’s tribes (Hitler, as the
prime example), thereby unleashing a technical monster, with heavy water and V-2 rockets. Although the U.S. Navy built the first
aircraft carrier, the balloon boat U.S.S. Washington, during the 1862 Civil War, that was just for non-powered balloons. People
had been flying balloons since 1783, when the villagers of Lyons, France - thinking it was some sort of monster from outer
space - attacked the Montgolfier brothers’ sparsely inflated balloon, in June of that year. But, for whatever reason, in recent
history it appears that some aliens did help the Nordic nations and specifically before they assisted the United States and the
United Kingdom.

Some of you nice people think I am smoking pot. Well, just listen to what Klemp said on
ionic propulsion. That’s Dr. W.B Klemperer, Douglas Engineering Department A-250, I did
not work for Klemp I worked with Klemp, which is what he liked to be called.
IONIC PROPULSION
The Thrust Available from Electronic Accelerators Author: George F. Forbes, 1952
Mathematical analysis is presented for the propulsion of a spacecraft by ion streams. It is
intended primarily for engineers concerned with such a thrust source. No attempt is made
to deal with the mechanical, electrical, and thermal difficulties involved in generating such
a stream. “An illustrative example is worked out to compare a cargo and passenger type
spacecraft using basically the same type of motor.
DAC COMMENTS
As noted in the summary, the author is not concerned with the important and difficult
engineering problems of producing the ion stream discussed. His examples assume that
some auxiliary vehicle system has lifted the space ship from the Earth and that the ion
propulsion system is only for travel through space. “Tugs” would be employed to land the
ship at their destinations.

NUCLEAR AND IONIC PROPU LSION
Transport Techniques Author: H. Preston - Thomas, Ph.D. B.Sc. 1952.
This paper discusses the modus operandi of a transport vehicle system in space that has its economic
justification in supplying Earth with a proportion of the rare and semi-rare metals and minerals that it needs.
Such a system, in which the transport is effected at very low cost, will be needed if space travel is to extend
beyond the very occasional scientific expedition.
The existence of methods of effecting such transport will also provide an incentive in addition to the present
ones, which may be classed as military, scientific and telecommunication interests, collect the raw materials and
return them to Earth.
It is pointed out that, while short transit times are important for manned flights, longer and consequently more
economical flights are conceivable for unmanned cargo trips. It is worthy of note that various vehicle sections of
the operating plants discussed can be simulated in the laboratory and, where that is not possible, as in the case
of stress-free frameworks, the problems are susceptible to mathematical analysis.
DAC ABSTRACT
The approximate annual world production and cost of certain expensive metals is discussed and some of the
extraterrestrial extraction benefits, such as unlimited thermal power, and vacuum techniques employed. On the
other hand, lack of water and of atmospheric gases as well as different ore formation and storage may
complicate the picture.
It’s very important that you understand what you have just read. During the evaluation of earth’s mineral
recovery needs (in the Douglas Advanced Design) the foundation for the concept to design some type of system
to start mineral recovery from the Moon (using Apollo) to the earth was first established. And, was later applied
to missions to Mars.

Additional abstracts follow.
Transit times and acceleration requirements considering a typical spaceship, of 1000 tons mass (M.),
on an interplanetary journey such as one from an Earth satellite station to the low-gravity satellite
of Mars indicates that spaceships need not be strongly braced, since acceleration of the order of one
milligravity or less will suffice. The transit time would be 150-200 days.
The ion gun propulsion by ion gun is deemed the most promising approach. The author considers
powers of the order of 10,000 kW are necessary and feels that high conversion efficiency such as 70
% is possible. Various ion sources are discussed and a mass / power ratio of ½ g / kW is held
feasible. Many ion guns in parallel on one space vehicle are envisioned.
Further transport considerations it is pointed out that, while short transit times are important for
manned space vehicle flights, longer —and consequently, more economical — flights are
conceivable for unmanned cargo trips. It is worthy of note that various sections of the operating
plants discussed can be simulated in the laboratory and, where that is not possible,
as in the case of stress-free frameworks, the problems are susceptible to mathematical analysis.
DAC COMMENTS
The treatise contains many interesting speculations. However, the nonchalance with which tenuous
stress-free structures of enormous size space vehicles requiring accurate mechanical alignment and
delicate plumbing are treated is, in our opinion, over-optimistic. More realistic assessment of the
weight of so large a spaceship’s structures and machinery would tend to place all of the so seriously
proposed schemes in the realm of fantasy for a long time to come.

I frequently participated in a really unusual organization, “The Douglas Think Tank.” It consisted of
Douglas scientists and some advanced weapon design senior engineers, who were studying all
aspects of future spaceship probabilities and when applicable, inserting elements into classified
plans for military weapons, they did most of their work in their own offices, spending a minimum
time in Advanced Design area where I was. Because of my physical definition (concept sketches and
drawings) it was necessary for me to define some of their concepts, and design configurations of
propulsion systems, space vehicles and launch facilities.
These same scientists and engineers, working under Dr. Klemperer and reporting to Elmer Wheaton,
Vice-President Engineering, had a hidden agenda. Because of my diversified classified background, I
was assigned as Dr. Klemperer’s special assistant and as his concept conceiver in the
Douglas Think Tank. Information resulting from DAC / RAND MTM-622 in February 1949, caused
James E. Lipp of RAND to consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life, acknowledging that it was
possible. These same scientists also continued their dialogue with CALTEC, in Pasadena, reviewing
Dr. Roberts’ 1952 Report to the CIA on The Potential Threat of Some Extraterrestrial Life Forms. This
is the environment that I entered into when I was assigned to the top secret Advanced Design
group.
Later, after extensive studies, The Brookings Institute submitted a report to NASA and the Navy
stating that NASA had to develop top secret control over all information concerning any reference
to the extraterrestrial problem. The conclusion of the Brookings Report was that, “disclosing the
threat will affect people all over the world causing social destruction of the planet.”

One of hundreds of Advanced Design concepts that I was privileged to be involved in was the
configuring of a classified lunar, Naval base. Much later, the Army presented a similar proposal,
known as Project Horizon. We had been conceiving many designs of different lunar and planetary
commercial and military facilities that gave us a “heads up,” and way before the Project Horizon.
As for our Phase 1 Naval Base construction offices, equipment, storage and buildings on the Moon’s
surface, this included design, construction, assembly, and testing of prefab-type surface buildings.
They were then disassembled and shipped to the Cape, where they were reassembled and installed
in large, upper-stage, liquid propellant rocket boosters. These upper stages were to be launched and
powered to the Moon, solar systems, planets, their moons and asteroids. The plan was to have
them soft- land on the lunar surface and rail-transported in sections to the assembly site, where
they would be reassembled to form large buildings that would be able to withstand the harsh lunar
and planet environments. The Phase 2 mission was far more complicated. The entire base was to be
built underground. This required using extremely large boring machines. They were to be
disassembled for storage within NOVA type rockets, then reassembled on the lunar surface and
rechecked out before boring operations. The goal of Project Horizon was to establish an Army
missile base on the Moon to protect our planet from the evil empire and the evil aliens. Our goal
was to develop a very sophisticated lunar Naval base. It was an enormous project to design and
build a two-thousand-man city that would include Naval research centers, Naval command and
control centers, advanced power generation, military and commercial docking / launching facilities,
Naval astronautical observatory, hospital / medical research, environmental systems, agriculture R
& D, transportation systems, and commercial and residential centers.

Douglas acquired access to several German V-2 rockets, the wonder weapons with sizable documentation
packages that were used in part for our intermediate range ballistic missile designs. These were at the Army’s
Redstone Arsenal and White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico, where
we established reverse-engineering facilities. Hitler’s plan was for them to fly across the Atlantic Ocean and
smash into New York and Washington. If the U.S. had not made Germany surrender in 1945, they would have.
So, we also had access to a sizable documentation on the A-10s for construction of long range missiles.
Also during the same time, Naval Intelligence confirmed that the Soviet Union was making great strides in this
area of research, too. The Soviets were engineering several very large vehicles that utilized data and technology
acquired from the alien telepathic assistance and German A-9 / A-10 programs. The Russians intended to launch
these rockets to the Moon, taking control of it, and possibly using it as a base with which to blackmail the entire
planet. This may be the real reason President Kennedy told our nation: “We are going to the moon.” Was NASA
just a cover up for a massive U.S. military program to beat the Soviet Union to the Moon and not let them
control the planet with their missiles? NASA was not, and never has been, a civilian organization. It is a Naval
deep space galactic penetration organization.
During this time, a major investigation was underway in the DAC Engineering Department. It was focused on the
extraterrestrial presence that worried some of the top minds. And not just in Douglas engineering. The Navy and
the Air Force were concerned, too. As I have said before, other aircraft corporations, such as Northrop, North
American and Lockheed, all had top engineering people on-board that were also interested. The senior thinker
at North American Aviation, CSI’s Dr. Walther Riedel, had contacted Douglas’ Dr. Klemperer, who was heading
up a special study – in Advance Design – on the alien problem.
