The goals changed after von Braun was gone, though. Really, NASA kind of stagnated once the Nazis were gone.




von Braun was still at NASA when they started dumbing-down the Shuttle.

Not arguing against that, but he left in 72, when they started the program. What was his role in dumbing it down?

ETA: Fun fact: I went to Space Camp in the 6th grade (1986). They had Konrad Dannenberg teach us the basics of rocket propulsion. Kind of neat to get to talk to him, though as an 11 year old I didn't really understand who I was talking to.
