+++ Episode description +++
In this episode, we'll take a look at Von Braun's 1948 Mars Project (Das Marsprojekt).

Von Braun was a German rocket scientist who played a significant role in the development of rockets during World War II. He dreamed of using rockets for peaceful exploration of the cosmos but instead, his rockets were used as a weapon of mass destruction. After the war, he was captured by the Americans and worked for them to develop rocket technology.

In 1948, his vision of peaceful exploration of the cosmos was realized when the American V-2 rocket captured the very first image of the Earth from space. But it was too little for him. He had big dreams for the future, but he understood that the only way to finance his projects was to captivate the public imagination.

This is the story of how he imagined a future Mars mission to be like.
