Hi qhirad01<br><br>It would be tough, I agree, but von Braun felt, I believe, that the success of the A-4 should have been followed by a manned space program....
Thanx. My point is if we're too mundane in our thinking, we never get into orbit and if we postulate too many tech break throughs we're in the realm of science...

I never read/saw anything about german influence of the Bell X-1(or 2-6). I can see a lot of obvious german influence in the Yak15,Mig9-15,Vampires etc. ...
I found this on the X-1, I think you will agree that it was designed and construction began before von Braun came to America.<br><br>The XS-1 was developed as ...
