He also developed the V-2 rocket, the forerunner of all modern rockets. Under him, the Nazis were the first to have the capability to reach outer space. Later, he was in charge of the NASA team that created the Saturn V rocket. He was the progenitor of rocket science. Compare to Newton, who executed counterfeiters, or Archimedes, who developed a number of pretty brutal war machines. History is written by the victors, right?
