on August 14, 1983. The crew would be recovered in aero
dynamic vehicles. Dr Paine, who had discussed the project
with Dr Wernher von Braun, said that the cost would be
about the same as that for Apollo, i.e., about $24 thousand
million.
Meanwhile, Mariner 7 was preparing to come on-stage.

 ...In the
first decade of the space age the lifting capacity of
America's launchers had reached incredible proportions.
Robert Goddard gave America the liquid-propellant
rocket in 1925. In the 1950s Wernher von Braun organised
the teams which developed America's first medium-range
missiles, Redstone and Jupiter, in response to the Korean
conflict. Because early space launchers were remodelled ...

Aggregate-4 (V-2) liquid-fuel supersonic long-range bal

era in military aviation and to spaceflight. Planned bv
Walter Dornberger, with Wernher von Braun, the A-4
rocket was as significant in its way as were the Wright
Brothers' first flights and the first run of Whittle's jet.

This flight, which had been planned to "man-rate" the Saturn
V rocket still further (as Dr Wernher von Braun, Director of
the Marshall Space Flight Centre, put it last year: "We must
have two or three unmanned tests under our belt before man
flies") would, if successful, probably have led t...
