Von Braun (Wernher von Braun)

Wernher von Braun was a German-American aerospace engineer and space architect, best known for his role in developing rocket technology. Initially a key figure in Nazi Germany's V-2 rocket program during World War II, he later moved to the United States, where he became instrumental in NASA's Apollo program, which successfully landed humans on the Moon. Von Braun's vision for space exploration extended beyond the Moon, including plans for human missions to Mars. His work has had a lasting impact on space travel and our understanding of rocket engineering.
