Abstract :
AS A SALUTE to the International Geophysical Year (IGY), the U. S. Army´s “Sunday Punch,” the giant Redstone missile, was recently unveiled to the public at Grand Central Terminal. Towering almost to the ceiling, the 6-foot-diameter, 62-foot-long rocket weapon is the largest object ever displayed at the terminal. It also is the biggest missile to be successfully flown in the Western World, and already is being incorporated in the Army´s arsenal as an operational weapon.
