It meant the brightest group of teen-agers, youngsters who were willing to play with ideas and understandings of physics and chemistry and astronomy that most of their contemporaries considered "too hard work." I grew up with that group; the stories I wrote over the years, and, later, the stories I bought for Astounding Science Fiction changed and grew more mature too.
Well, how about keying such a missile to a man's finger-prints or brainwaves, maybe, or his unique smell! so it can spot and follow him around then target in on him, without harming anyone else? Long-distance assassination and the stinkingest gets it! Or you could simply load it with some disgusting goo and key it to teen-agers as a group that'd take care of them.
So science-fiction has a very real function to the teen-agers; it presents varying ideas of what the world in which he will live his adult life will be interested in. This is 1953. My son will graduate in 1955. The period of his peak earning power should be when he's about forty to sixty about 1970, say, to 1990.
