...cure the tendency of rockets to wabble in flight, Dr. Goddard has worked out a small gyroscope that keeps his missiles in line by switching the tail vanes when necessary. Equipped with this and launched from his 60-ft. tower, Dr. Goddard's latest model, a twelve-footer weighing 140 Ib. with fuel, has reached speeds of 700 m.p.h., heights around 7,500 ft. Its fall is protected by an automatic parachute. Dr. Goddard, who hates to stir up gaudy talk of moon flights, announces his present objective as reaching 50 miles into the stratosphere "to obtain meteorological, astronomical...
