The invention of the rocket was one of if not the greatest contribution to the science of space and space travel. Using either a liquid or gas fuel system, a rocket travels hundreds of miles at thousands of miles per hour in order to achieve its task. Whether used for weapons of war or peace, all of the rockets that were built and are still built today mostly originated from the ideas of Wernher Von Braun. Whernher Von Braun was a German aerospace engineer who would go on to be one of the greatest aerospace engineers of all time, making many advancements in the field of rocketry and aerospace engineering as a whole due to his beginning endeavors in rocketry, his work for the German army, and his time working in NASA. While many people would question his allegiances, he remained true to his ideals of space exploration and peace, regardless of who he worked for.
Before Wernher worked for anybody, he was originally born in Wirsitz; Posen, which itself was a

While he may have had a controversial past, Wernher's work in aerospace was insurmountable for information regarding human flight. His work would go on to influence many companies such as the still-developing SpaceX as well as present-day NASA. His work in Germany and the US both gave Wernher an opportunity to express his ideas of space exploration. To further allow Wernher to understand the world around him and make changes that would benefit humanity based on those understandings. Rockets may become more and more prevalent as the years go on. Space is still an expanse that humanity has just barely scratched the surface on. However, in order to explore this region, rockets will be used to navigate the black expanse. Rockets that stemmed from the ideas of Wernher Von
