“Here’s a scale mock-up of America’s most powerful rocket engine which is scheduled for operation in about four years. Under development since December 1958, the single-chambered engine is designed to produce 1,500,000 pounds of thrust. Used in clusters, these engines could provide from six to nine million pounds of thrust for a space vehicle.”
