von Braun Dreams

What if Hitler had been able to get what he wanted in Munich, so appeasement had actually worked?   What if Goddard, von Braun, Oberth, Sanger, Korolev, Tsiolovsky, and other rocket scientists had been taken more seriously and had been properly funded?   Would Germany have put the first man into space?   Could Goddard, had he lived, have put a man on the moon without von Braun?   Come and join the discussion, click either picture above.

The picture above was von Braun's Dream.  A manned Space Station from which humanity explore the moon and the planets.  To learn more about the technical aspects of the early space launch rockets or rocket designs and compare them to actual space launch rockets, click on the picture above.

I would like to thank Dan Johnson for his great art, advice, and his inspiring Luft'46 site.  I would also like to thank Mark Wade for his fantastic Encyclopedia Astronautica site.  These two men and their websites are what inspired me to create this.  I would also thank Wernher von Braun for taking the dream and making it fly.
