Here is the end result from all of these projects and the message to not believe the gloom and doom stories.  We can fix this problem that they have created https://kaiserpapers.com/downey/ fixtheproblem/index.html
North American began its rocket research in the company parking lot, using a bulldozer scraper to protect adjacent parked cars from the inevitable exploding engines. Click for the story
On 5 October 1967, at Northern American Rockwell's plant in Downey, California, a hazardous mixture containing barium used in NASA sounding rocket experiments exploded, killing 2 workmen and injuring 11. Click for the story.
Despite a fatal explosion on 5 October 1967, at the Downey, California, plant of North American Rockwell, which was caused by a mishandling of finely divided barium mixed with Freon, the barium cloud experiment eventually proved a great success. On 17 March 1969, a barium cloud 1865 miles long, lasting some 20 minutes, and visible to the naked eye, formed at an altitude of 43,495.9 miles (69,999.87 kilometers). Heos I a "Highly Eccentric Orbiting Satellite" belonging to ESRO, carried the cloud-producing canister into space. For the story click Here
