Velocity Modification for Earth Capture of An Astronomical Body in the Solar System
In studying the possible capture of an astronomical body that is orbiting around the sun, two questions are encountered: How near must it approach the earth before it could be captured? How could we make it approach as near to the earth as required? This paper answers the first question by using the results of the restricted three-body problem, and partially answers the second question by estimating the order of magnitude of the velocity modification needed to change the orbit of the body and make capture possible.

The Limiting Sizes of the Habitable Planets
The astrobiological problem of the occurrence of life in the universe is discussed from the standpoint of the size and nature of planets upon which living organisms might arise. The conclusion is tentatively drawn that the most likely radius of a habitable planet lies between 10(exp 8) cm and 2 x 10(exp 9) cm. Conditions of temperature and density also bear upon the occurrence of life; thus the moon and Mercury, although both fall within the range of favorable radii, are nevertheless believed uninhabited by indigeneous life.
