Rockets and Space Station



The first successful intercontinental rocket was the V-2 as shown on the left of the picture.   In the center, top, is a German Buzz Bomb.  In the back is the Sky Lab, note the huge panel to its right.  That is one of the solar panels used to generate electricity for the space station.  Also, in the foreground, various missiles used in our defense.
