下一步，喷气推进实验室要开发“下士”火箭系统。长度达到11.7米，个头突然大了好几倍。陆军负责火箭项目的巴恩斯还挺有兴趣的问冯·卡门。你们这火箭的代号都是按照军衔来的。列兵完了就是下士。你们这个系列发展到什么军衔啊？冯·卡门说就到上校吧，到上校就差不离了。当然，后来喷气推进实验室不再负责火箭发动机研发，而是负责行星探测器，所以火箭也就排到了“中士”就OVER了。比冯·卡门预计的要少得多，这是后话了。当时大家觉得，从列兵火箭直接跳跃到下一级下士火箭。跨度太大了，步子大了容易扯着。所以决定开发一个中间档次的火箭。但是叫啥代号呢？列兵和下士之间插不进空啊。最后没辙，起名字叫“女兵下士”，缩写WAC。这下可就捅了马蜂窝了。你这不是明摆着说女兵下士比下士要低半级嘛！女权主义者岂能善罢甘休？陆军赶紧出来辟谣，WAC不是女兵下士的意思，那是“无姿态控制”的缩写。他们到这是能打马虎眼啊！
