That was back when they did aerodynamics by how it looked. I can't figure out how they convinced the first guy to fly it. Let alone the second and third.
In reply to A 401 CJ :
Probably the same guy who talked test pilots into "flying" X-15's.
"So let me get this straight. You want to strap me in front of a rocket, which is going to be flown to altitude by a B-52, drop me off it, leaving me with 30 seconds to light off said rocket, which should then propel me to 5x the speed of sound.
If it all goes wrong I fly a brick to the ground and, in either case, I need to jettison the lower tail to successfully land said brick on a lake bed with just skids."
