The V-2 was the first true rocket used in what could be called the space

age. The V-1 is not a rocket. It is better classified as an unmanned aerial

bomb. Called the "Buzz Bomb" or the "Doodle -Bug", the V-1 was highly

effective as a terror weapon. It lacked adequate guidance systems to put

its explosive charge precisely on a target. The V-2 which scratched outer

space and was equally inacurate struck the earth without warning. Both

the US and the USSR built their ICBM and Space Technology on beefed up

V-2 plans, specimens and engineers captured in the fall of the Third Reich.
