No need to shout at me Bob
I can only assume now that the yanks were firing off rockets with mice in during the late 40s or the fifties.....
Then again, was Robert Goddard doing it in the pre Pearl Harbour years???

I'll have to go with 50s pal!
Goddards rockets were so primative that the US government were not interested in them.
During the late 40s, they were too preoccupied with persuading von Braun to work for them.
So must be 50s...
