The redesigned Apollo spacecraft had been certified fit for flight, as had the Saturn 5 rocket. Werner Von Braun , the German genius and ex-pat who had designed the V2 missiles that reigned terror on London during World War II and was now involved in the more peaceable business of designing rockets for NASA, assured his bosses that vibration dampers he had added to the rocket

And those of you who remember the Apollo program, Wernher von Braun is a German scientist who came over here after World War II and helped us put a man on the moon.

He's pretty famous, well-known scientist. His name is Wernher von Braun . And he was brought to the US because he was in charge of the German missile program.
- And that's his wife, Yael Braun , also very impressive in her own right. Please give it up for Scooter Braun . Thank you so much for coming.
And that's what I just described-- his new his new venture. So please join me in welcoming Adam Braun to the stage. Thank you so much.
And we said, oh, my gosh. And I say it's Adam Braun .
Thanks. And yeah, so actually this is the quote that I open the book with, and I think it's appropriate that I open the presentation with it too. This is from Werner Von Braun , the architect of Apollo's-- I'm sorry, NASA's Apollo Program. "Here on Earth we live on a planet that is in orbit around the sun.
Thatís the first magnetic drive, so thatís the ancestor of your hard disc. Von Neumann and Vera Von Braun the, you know, the rocket pioneer from Germany.
in his role in the Nazi Rocket Program, he was still a widely admired leader of the US-based program. And one day, there was a rocket that blew up at launch. And an engineer came into von Braun 's office and sheepishly admitted that he had touched a circuit board right before launch and that's why the rocket had blown up. The engineer came into work the next day expecting to find a pink slip on his desk, but instead, there was a bottle of Champagne from von Braun , himself, with a note that said, "Thank you
this is the short answer to this question learning what very Posner and I found in our research along with Lillis Braun from University of Saskatchewan in Canada is that the leaders who learn more and are engaged in more learning more frequently become the best leaders now that's no surprise to anyone in this
sign, as this sort of honor that it was successful. So she was invited to sign her name beside von Braun 's name. But they told her, don't sign your full name because a woman's name would undermine the credibility of the chart.

On the American side, we've got the famous or infamous Wernher von Braun , German, ex-Nazi, made a professor by Adolf Hitler
Another example of this, of incremental, Braun , which starts out making gas-fired air conditioners, has now gone into pre-fabricated buildings.
All right, everybody. Thank you so much for coming to Talks at Google. We have an amazing guest for you today, Adam Braun . Adam started an organization in 2008 called Pencils of Promise, which a lot of you might have heard of.
since its disastrous April launch would ensure a smooth ride to space. Still, the astronauts who were staking their lives on Von Braun 's word not impervious to worry. Jim Lovell was assigned to the spacecraft's center seat, because the hatch-- with a hatch directly over his head.
So Ellen is a very big inspiration for me along with a really close friend of mine named Raymond Braun .
and open up this conversation, this presentation, just because I think it encapsulates what the book is really about, and what I think space exploration should really be about, at least maybe it was about what Von Braun thought it was about back when he was building the Apollo rockets. Some people seem to think that my book is really about the question of life elsewhere in the universe, but that's not exactly true.
You stop. So starting in 1992, working with Michael Braungart, a chemist, we created criteria that we use.
as soon as possible. So that first mission that was successful on the US side was Explorer I. And the team that was working on this under von Braun , there were two parts to it.
She and many other women who did contribute were not mentioned much at all in the media. But internally, she was given this huge credit and honor of signing the mission chart, which von Braun would normally sign, as this sort of honor that it was successful.

And an engineer came into von Braun 's office and sheepishly admitted that he had touched a circuit board right before launch and that's why the rocket had blown up. The engineer came into work the next day expecting to find a pink slip on his desk, but instead, there was a bottle of Champagne from von Braun , himself, with a note that said, "Thank you for confessing your error. You saved us months of diagnostic work and we may have never even found out what had gone wrong with the rocket."
Of the Big Three, Chrysler was best known as being the innovators in engineering. They also did stuff with the space program. So the man standing to Huebner's right with the ax on his shirt, that's Wernher von Braun .
