love or hate von braun his contributions to modern rocketry were without equal, the whole idea of a multi staged approach was his and his team. without his contributions we would never have made it to the moon as quickly as we did.....oddly his multistaged approach was shelved by scientists for years before they realized what a great idea ir was. His calculations for what it would taket, rocket wise, to reach Mars were pretty much dead on, you have to remember that during his work we still had not put anything into orbit...and wouldnt for almost 20 years.
WVB is one of those people who certainly set the course for history.
