[FPSPACE] help, info required; Korolev and von Braun.

[David Whitehouse]

Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone can help me with some historical info please.

A playwright friend asks me if von Braun and Korolev actually met. As far as
I know they never did.  I told him that I believed that they were both at
Peenemunde just after the war as I recall a story about Korolev watching von
Braun's team launch a V2. Korolev was watching from a lorry outside the base
(well that's what I think I remember I read) but I have not read of any
meeting even if they were in the same place at the same time. Am I right
guys?

Any information those more expert than I can provide would be great, either
on or off-list.

Historic week, we have a colony in space.

Regards,

David Whitehouse.
