Match resistance in ignitors and put in bigger motors. I’d have to vote for “Do it again, dat vas kool”.

Hey, I’m a 5th generation German! Who of us hasn’t had a flight not go right? We try, we fail, we learn, we do it right the next time! 😉 Really like the position of Herr Braun’s face and the rocket coming in on him! Sehr gut, Ausgezeignet! Huh? Pyrogen on the top grains… 😉

I dont know much History on him, to tell you the truth, but things sure worked out for him at the end of WW2 compared with …. well with some others from the Father Land. Boy those politics, and how they work sometimes.
Can sombody recomend a book.

Try this, Wernher is seen in a clip or two. This is appropriate for this thread, speaking of flights gone wrong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjSPs5noguQ

The neat thing, if you can sink so low as to think anything about the Nazi’s as “neat,” was that they grabbed on to Germany’s rocket club (VfR) led by Hermann Oberth to build their rockets. It would be like our government grabbing NCR members and demanding that we build rockets for them. Sound nice? Not really. Well, even though Von Braun did build his rockets with slave labor, he would have been shot had he protested. And, ultimately, we most likely would not have made it to the moon. Although, truth be told, Von Braun always said that he based his work on Goddard’s. Poor Goddard, after a V-2 landed and was confiscated, upon his examination, he realized that his work had been used to make a bomb, not his intention, NOR the intention of Von Braun. Very complicated. Definitely worth the read!
