> As part of what the U.S Space and Rocket Center and Alabama has done for the United States, our workers built the Saturn-V rocket that sent the first man to walk on the moon. Werhner Von Bruan is from Germany, and worked in Alabama as the head engineer of the Saturn- V rocket team. It could not have been built with out him. > The landing in July 1969 was an amazing event that the U.S. is credited for, most people don't know that The Hunstville U.S. Space and Rocket Center and Werhner took a huge part in making the first man walking on the moon possible. This accomplishment changed howmany people thought of Alabama.
 * 1) Who or What Did Your Group Choose?
 * 1) Why did you choose this person or event? What makes it significant to the State of Alabama?
 * 1)  What types of symbolism might you use in your design? We are going to use 4 and a 4th of an apollo 11 mission badge, representing the 4 and a fourth of a day it took to get to the moon, and the German flag to represent Werhner Von Braun's home country and relationship with the Nazis.

We could do this... Rocket That Put The Man On The +Moon ~Alexis~ Can we do this for our symbolism for the hunstville U.S. space and rocket center/ alabama put the man on the moon? A styrofoam ball (representing the moon) with a rocket over it and on the "moon"`s axis a mini alabama flag that holds everything???? and can we do a scale of 1.5in. = 6 ft.??? -Ashley:)- Yeah, we can do the moon with a stirafoam ball (cut crators in it and paint it), then the flag/axis a pole/stick and on the top a piece of styrafoam poster board with a pic of the alabama flag on each side. We could make the frame of the rocket out of sodier and then tape or glue different colored tissue paper to it for colors and then find something harder for the top. We could do red, orange, and yellow strips of paper at the bottom of the rocket for fire. ~Alexis~ ~Alexis~ Wow, you guys have been busy! Isn't it the U.S. Space and Rocket Center? The lead engineer was Von Braun if you want to add anything about him...it's a pretty good story - came over from Germany - people have said the US would never have won the space race if he hadn't defected. Von Braun- has a center named after him( theater) in Huntsville, AL [|www.vonbrauncenter.com] von biography Heres the website for the center named after Von Braun. Von Braun center This is another website for more info on the U.S. space and rocket center and the history of Von Braun. history <span style="color: #072b83; font-family: Georgia,serif;">-Ashley:)- His Story  Hey, I know this is going to be a bit more challenging with Alexis being sick. The good news about a digital project is that you don't actually have to be together for 90% of it! So, if you will get this table filled in with your scale information, that is your first step. Then you can decide who is building which parts and put the model together when you come back to school. Think of it as a puzzle - you each make your pieces at home. (This is actually how the International Space Station was built - parts were built in several different countries, flown into space on the shuttle, and then assembled by astronauts)  The rocket is 13.5 inches tall and 6 wide at the largest part.  The moon is 7.5 tall and wide.  ~Alexis~ For Video....

Wernher von Braun was working for the Nazis until Project paperclip which was a postwar and Cold War operation carried out by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA).The JIOA was a special intelligence office reporting to the Director of Intelligence in the War Department. Operation Paperclip had two goals: Operation Paper Clip- a code name said to have originated because an immigration form (holding the unspoken promise of problem free citizenship) was attached to the papers of each scientific recruit. At least 1600 scientists and their families were quietly brought to the USA and given citizenship. Von Braun was then transferred to Huntsville, Al and was the head engineer for the Saturn-V rocket team that put the first man to walk on the moon. Without von Braun the Saturn-V rocket most likely wouldn’t have been built and America and more specifically Alabama wouldn’t have put the first man on the moon. It took 4 and ¼ of a day to get to the moon therefore the Wernher Von Braun/U.S. Space and Rocket Center monument has 4 and a ¼ of Apollo 11 mission badges. Wernher Von Braun/U.S. Space and Rocket Center monument has a German flag as the axis of the moon to represent that Wernher was originally working for the Nazis to build war missiles (and is from Germany).
 * to exploit German scientists for American research
 * to deny these resources to the Soviet Union
