Default Can Somebody set me straight with Centuri KC-5

Centuri made their KC-5 Astrobee 350 from 1965 to 1975. I have pics. I have seen the catalogs. Carl has it listed in the Semroc Database. I'm pretty sure it is not a figment of my imagination.

The 1971 Centuri catalog lists KC-5 as the Aerobee 350. Such a name does not occur for Centuri in the Semroc database.

I thought it might be a typo but, if so, it is repeated several times including in the BIG print on page 27. The data given is close enough that it might be the same (rounding error) but it is not exactly the same.

Can somebody set me straight?

I used to tell Mom, "...I want to fly rockets when I grow up!"

She said, "Make up your mind, you can't do both!"
