The engines may even be used as secondary power sources to give an extra 15,000 Ibs. of thrust to the B-52 on takeoff. The Hound Dogs do not interfere with the B-52's normal H-bomb load; each missile simply adds a one-megaton hydrogen punch and an extra reach that combine to make a single B-52 the mightiest weapon ever seen...

He ordered 24 loaves a day. Mrs. Rudkin had her husband tote them on the train daily into Grand Central, where he paid a redcap to deliver them to Charles...
Last week the Department of Defense explained that the retrorocket had probably fired when it was pointing in the wrong direction. Instead of slowing the recovery capsule and bringing it down, the rocket's thrust had increased the capsule's speed and put it in a different and higher orbit, where it circled for five months before the still-inexperienced Dark Fence watchers noticed...
