The German v-2 rocket was a masterpiece of engineering. Designed by the rocketry
department at the Nazi regime,
led by rocket master Wernher Von Braun, The v-2 rocket rained
terror upon the English throughout the latter end of the war
Though it didn't kill very many people, they were impossible to detect
and impossible to stop
After World War II, the United States and Russia both captured a whole
bunch of V-2 rockets
and the scientists who worked on the program, And it jump-started the space and
missile programs in both the USSR
and the United States
All of our missiles and rockets and space program today are built on the history
of the German V-2
Literally we owe the space station's existence to
the German v-2 rocket!
