On March 23rd, 1912, wernher von braun was born into an aristocratic family in Wilsitz, Germany, and then moved to Berlin with his family. Wernher von braun's mother is an excellent amateur astronomer. She coaxed little Weiner's curiosity.
In the summer of p>1931, wernher von braun temporarily left the Berlin Rocket Field and went to the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich for further study. It was here that he met Konstantin D. General, an American medical student, who later became his lifelong friend. When Braun talked about the great acceleration that future astronauts must bear, Constantine concluded that the only way to determine how much gravity acceleration a creature can bear is to put it in a centrifuge. Soon, these two students are actively preparing for this space medical research project, which may be the first time in the world. They experimented with mice. If the landlady hadn't threatened Braun that if he didn't stop the experiment immediately, he would be thrown out. These two young researchers didn't know what to find!
in the spring of p>1932, wernher von braun returned to Berlin and graduated from Charlottenburg Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering.
In p>1934, the 22-year-old student scientist graduated from Berlin University with a doctorate in physics.
In p>1934, A-2 rocket was developed and successfully tested at the proving ground near Ku Moersdorf.
in p>1936, Braun found a suitable missile test base-Penemende, who served as the director of the technical department, began to study the new weapons program and led the design of the A-4 (V-2) rocket program, which was later named V-2 missile.
on March 23rd, 1939, wernher von braun met Hitler for the first time. Braun once heard that Hitler was interested in modern technology and complex machines. Wernher von braun can imagine, without Hitler on their side, they will encounter many problems, because of his achievements in V-2 rocket, after several years of terrible war, Hitler awarded him the title of honorary professor. On October 3rd, 1942, V-2 was successfully launched for the first time.
At that time, Germany was collapsing, the Allies were winning, and wernher von braun was running around, busy with an almost impossible retreat, lest all kinds of plans for human conquest of space in the future fall into the hands of outsiders. No matter what the danger, no matter what the cost, all the staff and think tanks, a large number of technical reports, design drawings, proprietary products, blueprints and engineering drawings must be evacuated within a few days. He said, "If I were not like this, I think I would become an old man, my brain would be useless, and I would degenerate ..."
During the air raid, he had to wait for the end of the air raid in the hospital, which was really a painful experience that tortured his nerves. He planned the surrender of the entire Penemende research team to the Americans. When his country-right or wrong-was in a state of war, he had done his best and did his patriotic duty to help it acquire a powerful new weapon. Now that the overall situation has been decided, all this has become a thing of the past. He thinks that his new obligation is to save his extremely valuable contribution to the future conquest of space from the ruins of Germany, and to dedicate his skills to serve the United States voluntarily.
