List,
This email came across today to me can anybody answer this question?
In 1954, a test pilot was strapped into the seat of a rocket sled and
blasted across the New Mexico desert at 282 m/s (632 mph, 1015 kmh) to
examine the physiological effects of high speed ejection. The sled
traveling at eight-tenths the speed of sound, a land
speed record at that time, was then guided into a large trough of water,
stopping it in a mere 1.4 seconds. The pilot survived. Who was this
test pilot?
Love to hear what anybody might have to say?
