The 52-ton rocket, carrying a top-thaped moon satellite, roared off to a beautiful start but the flight ended less than 45 minutes later when the third main stage rocket failed to ignite. It was one of the most spectacular launchlngs ever witnessed at the cape.

They needed a velocity of miles an hour to get the kick needed to soar far enough out in space to be drawn in by the gravity pull of the moon. The fastest Pioneer II ever went was 16,000 miles an hour. Ironically, Ted Gordon, the 28-year-old Douglas test conductor whose word was law during the critical moments that led up to lsunching, said "it was the best miesile countdown I've ever been through." Except for a few minor hitchps, everything functioned perfectly during the final phase of the 12-hour preliminary countdown that preceded zero hour.

Some experts are convinced that whatever their long-range aim, the Soviets' immediate motive probably is to weaken western forces rather than to move toward disarmament. Others contend that the dangers disintegrated in the earth's atmosphere somewhere over Central Africa, about 7500 miles from the launching site.
