Rockets as Weapons Have Long History Noted
New York reports that rocket weapons are not a modern invention. A Harper’s Magazine excerpt from 1854 traces rocketry back to ancient India and China with ships using large rockets in 1806 Boulogne and 1807 Copenhagen. It cites Congreve rockets in pre Civil War Europe and notes early development by Sir William Congreve.

Moscow planned the venture, but dissent from key allies blocks involvement and a broader international Communist organization. Gomulka faces pressure at home from hardline factions while seeking to keep Poland independent from Kremlin domination.
