Man Will Conquer Space Soon!
And soon, has arrived...


Wernher Von Braun's Ferry Rocket, his envisioned method of getting man to space, a decade before he assisted in designing the Saturn 5 that put men on the Moon.

As Wikipedia says;
"Von Braun Ferry Rocket was a concept design for a shuttle spacecraft that was developed by Wernher von Braun in a seminal series of early-1950s Collier's magazine articles, "Man Will Conquer Space Soon!" by Wernher von Braun et al. The Ferry Rocket concept has evolved over time."

Well, it's still a concept, but quite an intriguing one at the least.
A three stage space shuttle capable of orbiting Earth at the least, and re-entry is quite an ambitious feat for the 50's. But this is Wernher Von Braun I'm talking about, the same man who developed the V2 rocket.


Now, with what little I have to say about this at the moment, I have something important that should probs be at the top;
This isn't the finished rocket
This is only the third stage, the very last stage that's meant to orbit. The other two are still in thr works, and it would be odd just to upload the second stage of a rocket.

So yeah, this upload is to prove I haven't been abducted by Canadians, yet.


Now for some controls:

Action Group 3 activates the four secondary engines

Action Group 4 activates the main central engines

Action Group 8 activates the gyro

And Landing Gear... it drops the wing flaps for landing

    Don't worry, I'm still working on the other two stages.
    As soon as they're finished, I'll upload it.
