spectacular Monday afternoon
fire on the Frank Brown
farm about a mile south of

Man's Flight Into Space, Safe
Return Seen Within Five Years
Moffett Naval Air Station,
Calif. (UP) A top research
scientists predicts man will
travel into space and return
to earth within five years at
the most, thanks to successful
research with five-stage rock
ets. This prediction came
Monday from Dr. Alfred J.
Eggers, one of the top air re
search scientists at Ames Lab
oratory here.
"The basic technology is all
worked out," he said. "Now
the engineering of the ship it
self remains. No more than
five years, certainly."
Disclosure that this country
has been successfully experi
menting with five-stage rock
ets, using existing "hard
ware," came at an open house
sponsored by the National Ad
visory Committee for Aerona
tics at the Ames Laboratory.
Not High Priced
The NACA said it has been
firing hundreds of the rockets
ati speeds reaching 10,650
miles an hour for the past
two years. It costs "only a
few thousand dollars" to fire
one of the 55-foot rockets.
The rockets use the motor
of the Army's Honest John
ballistic missile for the first
stage. The second and third
stages use anti-aircraft Nike
Ajaxes. The fourth stage is a
Recruit. The fifth stage is a
Thiokol T-55 rocket which
carries the instruments.
"I believe we are the first
to use such an arrangement,"
said Hugh L. Dryden, direc
tor of the NACA. The firings
have been carried out from
the NACA's pilotless research
aircraft station at Wallops
Island, Va. The purpose of the
firings is to gain experience
in ballistics missiles research.
Ninety-Minute Flight
The rockets are capable of
reaching altitudes of "several
hundreds of miles," research
ers said. Just how high is a se
cret. Engineers have also suc
ceeded in blowing the nose
portion of the rockets back
into the earth's atmosphere
to study the problem of get
ting space missiles back to
earth without letting air fric
tion burn them up.
Using model-size wind tun
nels capable of generating
winds of 16,000 miles an hour,
researchers have experiment
ed with heat-resistant metal
alloys and other critical itms
needed in space flight.
Research with wind tunnels
and other equipment al Ames
Laboratory has also enable
scientists to state flatly that
a 2,000-mile-an-hour commer
cial plane can be built now.
Such a plane, they said,
could take off from New York
at 6 p.m. and land in San
Francisco at 4:30 p.m. a time
of 90 minutes for a transcon
tinental flight.
