Nuclear tests, especially small ones, would be very hard to detect, said he, and the only way to be sure of detection would be to get a complete "opening up of Russia." Nuclear production would be even harder to inspect because of the great possibilities for cheating, e.g., by faking plant accidents and "shutting down" inspected plants while sneak war production went...

Without a satellite, Jupiter-C flew 3,300 miles-farther than any U.S. missile before or since. Wernher von Braun knew then that he could surely launch a satellite-if given the chance...
