In 1961, John F. Kennedy set a goal for the nation; to put an American on the moon and bring them safely home. This effort to reach the moon before the Soviet Union prompted a burst of creativity within our nation's space industry. Unbeknown to many, a small town of homesteaders contributed to a highly successful space program that derived the necessary science to develop today's aeronautic technology. History was made when the largest single rockets in the world were test-fired at the Aerojet-Dade facility.—Anonymous
