       Werner Von Braun was one of the most influential contributers to the space program.  He came up with a variety of designs for rockets, space shuttles, and space stations.  Back in the sixties NASA was highly considering constucting Von Braun's space station model, but the Cold War stopped the entire idea all together.

Today we do have the International Space Station, ISS for short, which is currently under constuction.  It is a hub for zero gravity science experiments, where we can learn more about ourselves.

Werner Von Braun is my hero!  I doubt I can make as big of a contribution to space exploration as he has, but I will truly try my hardest!  He was an amazing man, truely extraordinary.  He came up with ideas never thought up before.  Sadly most of his ideas, NASA has claimed as their own; American.  But Werner Von Braun was a German Scientist, but he worked for NASA, but technically most of NASA's successes has been of the German decent.
