Beautiful Redstone blastoff ends Army tests at Cape Canaveral
CAPE CANAVERAL Army and NASA observers witnessed a dramatic Redstone rocket launch marking the end of a successful development phase begun five years ago. The test followed earlier Thor and Jupiter efforts, with Redstone delivering three nuclear warhead tests and satellite launches. The launch, the first ballistic shot in twelve months, confirmed the vehicle’s reliability as range safety officers cleared the flight and officials announced no further Redstone R&D firings are planned. The Thor test that night failed, but authorities expect a next moon-orbit attempt later in the week, with a possible Friday morning launch window.
