American Experience: Space Men. About project Manheigh. Amazing what they accomplished with so little money! I did not know, that until Sputnik it was career suicide to talk about manned space flight. Von Braun was brought here to make weapons of war, not play with space rockets, and non of the brass wanted to hear different! I still can't believe what it must have been like, to be at over 100,000 feet above the earth, and see the edge of space?
