This guy is none other than Wernher von Braun, famous rocket scientist that was so indispensable during the space program in the 50's and 60's. His life reads like a movie...Born a politician's son in Poland, studied in Berlin, joined the Nazi SS, was subsequently arrested by them. Escaped by stealing a train, surrendered to the Americans, was hired by the army, got married, joined NASA, was an instrumental part of the Saturn 5 program, the first stage of which is shown below. Any movie studios listening? make this a screenplay. Won't be any worse than the predigested recycled mindless drivel spewing from the studios currently.
