AHC: Moon Race 1956!
Between Seagrams (of Canada) and Jim Beam (of the USA).
A LOX/alcohol rocket has an exhaust velocity of up to 3.3 km/ (In practice it's lower but there doesn't seem to have been a lot of interest in LOX/Alochol rockets). Ignoring things like air resistance, a round trip to the Moon is about 9.4 km/s, for a mass ratio of about 3. In practice, it would be much larger of course. But how to get Seagrams to commit to a moon program, crewed or otherwise? -- http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/ http://www.livejournal.com/users/james_nicoll
