Anthropologists study and compare people to understand how they lived in the past and present. They examine cultural practices, social structures, and adaptations to different environments to gain insights into human behavior and development. By analyzing artifacts, languages, and biological remains, anthropologists can reconstruct and interpret past societies.
Yes, Wernher von Braun was a member of the Nazi Party and the SS during World War II. He was a leading figure in the development of the V-2 rocket for Nazi Germany before later working on the American space program.
In March 2009 I sold Dr von Branun autograph on a small booklet titled Saturn Rockets for Space Exploration for $400.
There are many things that Wernher Von Braun was famous for. Wernher Von Braun was famous for being a German rocket scientist who worked on rockets that went to the moon.
According to the newspaper account given by the link it was first prepared by Acharya P. C. Ray.

Because, in 1977, pancreatic cancer was pretty much a death sentence. Even today, only a small fraction of people who get this type of cancer live for more than five years after diagnosis.
He made the rockets for Germany in world war 2.And also made the rockets for N.A.S.A such as the famous Saturn 5 rocket to reach the moon.
In a sense he did not design any, but did adapt a wrist watch so it could be used- with reversed printing, to track the shadow of ascending rockets in conjunction with a Maritime Sextant ( Navigational instrument) the observer took a sighting on the ascending rocket and made the appropriate notations on his Observation Watch- or BeobachtungsUHr- which is a literal German Translation. ( Beobachter meaning observer- common Newspaper moniker) these modified B-dienst ( observation service) watches were made for the War Ministry and were termed Sextantuhr- or sextant watches, for use with the Sextant- and were custom made. Von Braun designed these things. Deutsches Optik sold a few last year, naturally these were grabbed up- nowadays all sorts of electronic computers follow the rocket shots- but then. hand and eye and some quick figuring!
Yes! Maria von Braun. She was a lovely woman when I met her and her husband at operettas and operas held by The Civic Opera Society of Huntsville, Alabama. The von Brauns were fantastic supporters of this organization, and my Mama, Maria Theresia Brown, was Vice President-Treasurer during the mid to late 60’s. She got out and worked hard to help bring culture to Huntsville, by getting sponsors, ads, and keeping the finances of the society realistic and in check. These productions were held at Huntsville High School during that era, as The Wernher von Braun Civic Center didn’t exist yet.
With her being from Vienna, Austria, she met most of the German segment (associates and their spouses involved with Wernher von Braun.
Mama spoke six plus languages fluently, which always came in handy. She was congenial and had been a professional character actress, model, and jazz singer in Europe before she, my Daddy, and their son came to America in December of 1954.
I would like to visit the graves of the von Brauns in the near future as they are just down the road near Washington, D.C.
He made v2 rocket which killed hunderds of british live during ww2.
Von Braun did not invent the rocket. The rocket was invented hundreds of years before he was born, and in China.
