"At times we felt like missionaries surrounded by jeering unbelievers. We had complete control over our facilities, at the far edge of the laboratory grounds, and over our operations, which was an exception to laboratory practice. In this environment we developed a great enthusiasm, a drive to excel, and a desire to show one and all the great potential of rocket propulsion." [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
