...42nd parallel has been an on-again-off-again free zone. The motive of President after President was to encourage settlement of the empty, rocky area, once regarded hungrily by land-poor Chile as a possible zone of expansion.

By 1953 Thiokol had produced solid-fuel engines, i.e., basically cylinders packed with the fuel, for the first full-scale Army test missiles. When the Army successfully launched four of them-proving that solid fuels worked-contracts flowed into Thiokol. Crosby's scientists turned out the first-and second-stage engines for the Farside rocket project, won the contracts to produce the propulsion systems of the Air Force's air-to-air Falcon and the Army's antiaircraft Nike-Hercules, surface...
