|X15 Rocket Ships
Hits 2,150 M.P.H.
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE.
Calif., l.fi—The X15 rocket ship,
warming up for trips to the edge
of space, streaked 2,150 mph yes
terday—fastest flight on record
for a manned craft but just by a
whisker.
Joe Walker, test pilot for the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, was at the con
trols and becomes the new “fast
est human.”
The earlier mark was 2,094 mph
reached here Sept. 27, 1956, in the
X2 research plane by Air Force
Capt. Milburn G. Apt. He was
killed moments later when it
went out of control and crashed
Walker may have bettered that
in an X15 flight last May 12,
when he hit Mach 3.3—or 3.2
times the speed of sound, plus or
minus five per cent due to pos
sible instrument error.
The plus would make his speed
2,148 mph, a mark surpassing
Apt’s. The minus would make it
2.074 mph, or below Apt’s,
the record for conventional jet
planes is 1,525 mph, set here last
Dec. 15 in a Convair F106 Delta
Dart by Maj. Joseph Rogers.
Walker today opened all eight
barrels of the twin-rocket engine
which in a four - minute burst
pushed it to 78,000 feet, setting
the speed record on the way.
| Another One of Castro’s
Bully Boys Seeks Asylum
In United States
MIAMI, Fla., Wl—Raul Chibas,
one of Fidel Castro’s top aides in
the Cuban revolution who fled to
political exile in the United
States this week, says a resistance
movement in Cuba is growing but
it is not strong enough to be
feared by the Cuban prime min
ister.
He predicted, however, that
Castro “won’t last six months.”
Chibas, 44, was Castro’s treas
urer during the revolution and
helped condemn foes of the revo
lution in the 1959 “showcase”
trials. He said he fell out with
Castro over his “obvious move
toward Communism.”
Chibas left Cuba Tuesday with
his young wife in a 17-foot motor
boat and spent 11 hours sailing
to Key West.
