		The Little Joe rocket booster was developed as a cheaper, smaller, and more functional alternative to the Redstone rockets.
		Little Joe could be produced at one-fifth the cost of Redstone rockets and still have enough power to carry a capsule payload.
		Seven unmanned Little Joe rockets were launched from Wallops Island, Virginia from August 1959 to April 1961.

		Little Joe 1-A (LJ-1A) was launched in a test for a planned abort under high aerodynamic load conditions.
		Little Joe 2 (LJ-2) was launched from Wallops Island to determine the motions of the spacecraft escape tower combination during a high-altitude abort, entry dynamics without a control system, physiological effects of acceleration on a small primate, operation of the drogue parachute, and effectiveness of the recovery operation.

	This New Ocean - Ch7-7
		While the results of the Big Joe launch were being studied, a five-man investigating committee at Langley was trying to learn why the first Little Joe shot, on August 21, 1959, had miscarried so badly.
		Little Joe 6, 55 feet tall and weighing 20 tons at liftoff, blasted up to a peak altitude barely short of 40 miles; then it was intentionally destroyed after two and a half minutes of flight to prove the destruct system.
		Because the next scheduled launch of a Little Joe booster was already committed to a test for certain aeromedical objectives and was now in a late stage of preparation, the primary aerodynamic test of the escape system was postponed until January, when a third try, to be called Little Joe 1-B, could be made.

		That little nub has to retain contact with one's face...I'm guessing to detect when one is speaking via the vibrations in the jawbone...and hence the name.
		But for a little while, as I move along on this reduction campaign, I'm skipping the beer on some evenings, and just having a Yuengling Light...it's brewed here in Tampa, so there's far less transportation involved vs bringing Newcastles over from the UK, and it's quite a few less calories.

		Little Joe 2 (LJ-2) was the third successful launch in a series of suborbital flights designed to test various components of the Mercury flight systems.
		The primary objectives of the Little Joe booster missions were to: (1) study capsule dynamics at progressively higher altitudes; (2) test the capsule escape system at maximum dynamic pressure; (3) qualify the parachute system; and, (4) verify the search and retrieval methods.
		The spacecraft was located about 2 hours following launch, but a total of 6 hours were to pass before its ultimate recovery by a destroyer and Sam's subsequent release from his inner envelope.
