Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A researcher operates a demonstration board regarding high-energy propellants during the 1957 Inspection of the NACA’s Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory in Cleveland, Ohio. Representatives from the military, aeronautical industry, universities, and the press were invited to the laboratory to be briefed on the NACA’s latest research efforts and tour the test facilities. Over 1700 people visited the Lewis during the October 7-10, 1957 Inspection. NACA Executive Secretary John Victory is said to have heard one of the researchers mention outer space during rehearsals for the event. Victory ordered the remark removed so as not give the perception to the visiting dignitaries that the NACA was spending too many of its resources on non-aeronautical pursuits. The launch of Sputnik I by the Soviet Union days before the event changed everything. The dignitaries wanted to hear about the NACA’s rocket work and its space ambitions. The original talks were given, including this one on Lewis’ recent achievements with high-energy propellants.
