Two Test Pilots Eye Rocket Flight From Dallas
In Dallas two ex test pilots William Becker and Ralph Cokely hope one will ride a rocket into space and return within hours. They work with Boeing Airplane Co to study pilot capsule escape systems as Chance-Vought and Martin vie for a final Air Force contract on a rocket powered craft. If Boeing wins, one pilot may orbit Earth and land at the takeoff base before 1965, after undergoing centrifuge tests and simulated flights. Cokely notes the plan is close and his family supports him, with his wife joking she would join if possible.
