Warren is blessed with a rocket. It was once an intermediate range ballistic missile, but it’s basically the same rocket that launched America’s first astronauts Allen B. Shepherd and Gus Grissom into sub-orbital space. It’s enough to be proud of, anyway.
RoadsideAmerica.com has a story on our rocket, but it’s based on reader reports and it seems people just don’t know what town they’re in when they see the thing.
I found a brochure about the Warren Redstone. It features the story of how and why the rocket came to Warren, written by Ted Asselin, the man who brought it here. It also has information about the progress of the rocketry in the 1950s.
A neighbor tells the story this way: “There aint no brochure that can tell ya what I can tell ya. Ted and his buddies were drunk one night, and they decided to get it. Ted knew where it was, just sitting and going to rust, and they decided to go get it.” I’ve not heard a good explanation for what happened between that moment and the day they drove off in a semi to get it. Logic cries for some sort of planning or orginizational discussion at that point in the story, but no sources report that any such preparation took place. “They got fined in New York and New Jersey, ’cause they didn’t get any permits, and they had to go around Massachusets ’cause they got turned away.”

Dear Sir/Madam,
We have just done and offering , about 200 hours footage of wild life on digital format MINI DV CAM 3CCDand MINI DV 3CCD of wild life in Bulgaria and Syria, most of it covering all sides of a wild life story.Some of it, we think, never been done before, footage has been done of high quality photography a lot of footage of close distance few cm, feeding inside nests, inside hoals, snakes attacking camera, snake eating chicks, birds attacking snakes and killing the snake defending their nests, frogs killing and eating chicks, also micro shots of the small insects on the birds. An example: bee-eaters meeting, diging, sitting on eggs, hatching, feeding chicks, growing, weasel in their hoals, attacking weasel, in flights with bees following them not to be taken by them, going in and out of hoals, brinking insects, all kind of positions, also what happening in their surroundings, e.g. snakes in water, frogs, dragonflys etc.
We have covered a number of diferent kinds of mammals, birds, lizarts, snaikes, insects, etc. Some of them we think never been filmed before e.g. Syrian desert monitor, cats of Ufrates river etc.
