Wernher von Braun Lecture In the late 1940 s and early 50 s, going to the Moon was still considered by many to be science fiction fantasy. But in the early 1950 s, rocket pioneer and visionary Wernher von Braun appeared before the Armed Forces Staff College to present, in very practical terms, his vision of how America could put a man on the Moon using existing technology. Watch and listen as von Braun lays out future history before the military men of the Cold War.
