Finally, under pressure from those who saw the vast advantage the Communists would have in space exploration through their ability to lift heavy loads aloft, the Eisenhower Administration got moving in 1958 on the 1,500,000-lb.-thrust Saturn booster, a relatively primitive design of eight engines in a single cluster. The Saturn has been static-tested, but will not be operational until 1965 or 1966. Only recently has the program been allotted anything more than a shoestring budget for research and development...
...first there was good reason for the Russian lead. In 1954, when the Soviets began work on their intercontinental ballistic missiles, they needed an engine powerful enough to lift their outsize nuclear warheads. They gave top priority to that goal and developed the 800,000-lb.-thrust, liquid-fueled booster engine that has since provided the power for their spectacular out-space shots as well as their ICBMs. The U.S., with a smaller warhead, did not require such massive power, settled on the 360,000-lb.-thrust Atlas engine, still the biggest in the U.S. space arsenal...
