Dr. Wernher von Braun

Dr. Wernher von Braun was a German-American aerospace engineer and physicist, best known for his role in developing rocket technology during World War II and later for NASA's Apollo program. He played a pivotal role in launching the first human to the Moon in 1969. His work laid the foundation for modern space exploration, including satellite technology and space missions. Despite his significant contributions to science and space travel, von Braun's early involvement with the Nazi regime and use of forced labor in rocket development has sparked ethical debates about his legacy.
