Wernher von Braun was born in Germany in 1912. He was actually a descendant of kings of France, Denmark, Scotland, and England. At a young age, he figured out that he wanted to be a rocket scientist when he grew up so he joined a premature group of scientists. Eventually, he became the “chief designer” of rockets in Germany. Later, he moved to the US in Huntsville, Alabama, and there continued his work on rockets. He was forced to design war projectiles, and was the originator of the V2 rocket. Finally, he got back into his element of space rockets. He continued to design rockets. Eventually, NASA would be formed with Wernher von Braun as a chief scientist. He was a crucial part in sending Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the moon. He even designed the Saturn V rocket, which would carry Apollo 11 into space. He wrote books too, one of which I might read, Apollo and America’s Moon Landing Program by Wernher von Braun, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, and more. Thanks for reading!
