Interesting to see what changes were later made to the missile - also that they made this kind of information film in 1954 when the program was so highly classified.

Evidently the hydrogen bomb test footage from the Eniwetok tests hadn't been declassified enough to incorporate into this film... They used regular atomic bomb test footage. Later! OL J R :)

Also, this film was made before the warhead mass was finalized. The lighter warhead resulted in "downsizing" the booster to the final configuration of 3 main engines and a 10-foot-diameter tank.
