...Cape Canaveral, the rockets soared, and not just nice little technical marvels, but big giant boosters that hissed and roared and one of which hit the moon (see SCIENCE). At Christmas Island, in the hot Pacific, the U.S. resumed atomic tests in the atmosphere, firing shots heard round the world. They were heard not for the size of their bang but for the certainty of their intent. For the U.S. knew what it had to do, why it had to do it, and did it.

And since the test was concerned only with Saturn's first-stage booster, scientists were free to use the dummy upper stages for an ingenious experiment. Stored...
