<VV> V2 vs Saturn

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

The Redstone was an uprated V2, this is the rocket Shepard and Grissom rode on. It is a single stage rocket incapable of orbital flight. The Saturn V is totally different, FAR larger and unrelated in design.

"Maybe not in a Saturn V though. Which, incidentally, was just an up-rated
Nazi V2 rocket. There would have been a Swastika on the Moon long before
1969 if we hadn't upset their plans.

Hugo:  You have engaged in Extreme Hyperbole with your statement the Saturn
V was a up-rated V2 .  Kind like saying a Porsche GT4 is a ungraded go-kart.


You need to go to Huntsville Alabama or the Kennedy Space Center and stand
under a Saturn V.  And maybe read some good history books about the 500 or
so repentant Kruts and why they choose to surrender to the US Army instead
of the Soviet Union.  Those who could not make the choice suffered mightily.


Historically Yours,
