[FPSPACE] Wernher von Braun's voice

[Sven Grahn]

Last week I received an old tape recording from the XI Inernational Astronautical Congress 1960 in Stockholm. The tape contains, i.a. a recording of Wernher von Braun's lecture given at 9 a.m. on 16 August 1960. Here is the first minute of the lecture:

Believe it or not, I worked at the Congress a a junior errand-boy at the age of 14! I was a junior member of the Swedish Interplanetary Society and of course I sneaked into the lecture room during von Braun's lecture - which was an hour long! 

I have written a little account of my impressions at the Congress here:
