During World War II, Doctor Wernher von Braun was the director of the successful military guided-rocket program, which produced the V-2 rockets used to bomb Britain from bases located in Northern Europe. At the end of the war, he was one of a number of German scientists captured by the U.S. Army invited to help with different military and civilian projects taking advantage of their advanced scientific know-how.

In 1855, Wernher von Braun naturalized as U.S. citizen in order to be allowed to join NASA and directed the projects that produced the Redstone rockets for the Mercury project (used in one-maned orbital flights) and the more famous Saturn rockets for the Apollo project that took U.S. astronauts to the Moon.

Answer:

People where I was living told me they didn’t even know about it. No, I wasn’t alive during the Spanish American War, but had great-grandparents, uncles and aunts who were. In that time period, there was no radio, television or internet. Newspapers and magazines were luxuries. The primary mail was the occasional delivery of the Sears “wish book.” So the war had come and gone before most people in the US even knew it existed. It was primarily a war for, by and of the elites on the East and West Coast.
