You Never Know Where They’ll Show Up

At this facility, Wernher Freiherr von Braun conducted his first trials with rocket fuels and aggregates.

As always, thank you Dr Weisswange!

    Ah yes, the honored space exploration pioneer who lead us to the great unknown above and when he passed, he left but a simple message on his humble tombstone; Psalms 19-1…… GO NASA

    Cool. The wooded setting reminds me of something I once stumbled upon deep in the woods of Ft. Devens, MA: A concrete and welded steel restoration or reconstruction of US rocket pioneer Dr. Goddard’s launch pad and test gantry, with a plaque by the Engineer unit that built it, IIRC. I think the entire site must have been bulldozed when the post was deactivated in ’95, because I was never able to find it again.

    @Hoff: Kummersdorf Proving Ground, 30 klicks South of Berlin.
    I visited it during the Rheinmetall Defence Talks 2016.
