...rocket engine will have fuel for only six minutes of powered flight, but after its fuel is gone, the X-15 is expected to climb on momentum at least 100 miles above the earth, probably a good deal higher. This altitude is not strictly space; there is still a little air, but it is much too thin for an airplane to steer by. So for controls the X-15 will use six small jets of hydrogen peroxide gases shooting out of its tail and wings. When the X-15 is above the effective atmosphere, its pilot will feel zero gravity...
Counting on the success of the X-15, North American has proposed a beefed-up version with a booster rocket that will push it up to orbiting speed (18,000 m.p.h.). It will climb into genuine space, well above 150 miles. There will be no human pilot on the first flights. Automatic instruments will ride the winged satellite around the earth for awhile. Then, perhaps on electronic command from below, they will glide it to earth. Later, as the art develops, the first human pilot may take the same ride...
