Weird Structure To Launch Missiles Edwards AFB, Calif. (U.R) The Air Force was completing today a weird structure that will eventually lead to launching of rockets and guided missies twice the size of anything currently possible. The structure is being con structed high on a rocky cliff in the Mojave Desert. It is a giant concrete test stand designed to hold in harness rockets having up to 1 million pounds of thrust. Previous test stands built by the Air Force have only been able to handle rocket engines up to 500,000 pounds in thrust. The new stand looks like some thing created by a science fiction writer. The test stand itself juts from the top of the cliff like an unfinished concrete cantilever bridge that the builders aband oned and left jutting into space. The towers rise 10 stories high. The Air Force said that the stand must be able to withstand tremendous upward strain as well as to bear the dead weight of huge rockets.
