We just learned about the V-2 Rocket.
Another famous rocket from history is the PGM-11 Redstone.
This was an American rocket made from the German scientists who had made the V-2 rocket.
It was part of the American rocket program for a very long time.
This rocket was the first one to carry a nuclear bomb, that was exploded up in the atmosphere in the sky.
It was also part of the rocket program to launch the US Explorer 1 space satellite.
The family of rockets that were made as copies of this later went on to send a person into space!
