75th Anniversary of the von Braun team’s arrival in 1950
The 20th century’s greatest event was the moon landing, and the core team that did it was the von Braun team that arrived on Monte Sano in 1950, and teamed with Alabama GI Bill veterans for “History’s Greatest Collaboration.” These mountain residents changed the world, and they transformed Huntsville from a city of 14,000 to “America’s Best Place to Live.” We’re recruiting German and American Old Timers who can share their stories of this splendid saga.
