Germany had made many advances in their technology pertaining to rockets. They created a V-1 rocket and a V-2 rocket. The V-1 rocket was an automatic aircraft that was created by Robert Lussar and Fritz Gosslau. The aircraft had an autopilot function that would enable it to fly towards its target. When it reached its destination, it would drop a missile at its target. The V-2 was the world’s first liquid propelled rocket. It would be able to reach a maximum distance of two hundred miles and it had a one-ton warhead. On top of this, the missile flew into space before it headed towards its target. In the process of making the V-2, ten thousand or more concentration camp workers died. In 1944 and 1945, the V-1 and V-2 were sent to London and killed thousands of civilians. Although these were weapons, the technology that they used could be applied in different ways. After World War II was over, the team who created the rockets in Germany came to the United States. They helped to make the rockets that sent American astronauts into space and to the
