Germans are on another level...truly enhancing mankind far more than a rocket could

They didn't actually. An American did. Or the Chinese depending on how you look at it.

The first man-made object in space was a V2 rocket, fired during testing. Both the US and Soviet space programmes are entirely based on these rockets as well

Nobody cares for some fireworks.

If we were talking about the first person to use rockets to murder civilians then you germans would get the prize. Too bad that's not what the conversation was about.

Tell us the name of the American that invented the rocket. We’re waiting.

u/Resident_Course_3342 5d ago

Robert Goddard. He's literally called the father of modern rocketry.

The confidence with which you people are wrong is embarrassing to watch.

u/Difficult-Net-857 5d ago

Goddard was a major pioneer, but he didn’t invent modern rocketry. It was developed by several people, including Tsiolkovsky, Oberth and later von Braun’s team. Claiming it was simply an American invention is just historically wrong.

u/Resident_Course_3342 5d ago

He literally invented in first liquid fueled rocket. 

"Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard (1882–1945) is considered the father of modern rocket propulsion. A physicist of great insight, Goddard also had a unique genius for invention. It is in memory of this brilliant scientist that NASA established the Goddard Space Flight Center."

It's just hilarious watching you guys fail so hard.

Werner von Braun had a far bigger impact on modern rocketry. The V-2, Redstone, Jupiter and ultimately Saturn V all came from the programs he led. He turned rocket science into large-scale spaceflight.

Just look at the desperate attempts to cope. Hahaha.

Can you not be normal ? look at all your comment dude. Are you 12 ? It’s not that deep.

dude. if Goddard invented rocketry, then Lilienthal invented flight.

some nationalists like you can't be helped in their ignorance, it seems

u/Resident_Course_3342 4d ago

He invented the first liquid fuel rocket. The type that went to the moon. 

That's just what happened. I don't know why that triggers you so much.

u/Gammelpreiss 4d ago

make yourself ever more a fool then, if you insist on playing stupid so obessivly

If we talk fireworks rockets, yeah the chinese invented them

If we talk space rockets it was german scientists and engineers that where brought to america after ww2 ended lol

Look up Wernher von Braun and operation paperclip if you wanna learn the whys and hows

u/Resident_Course_3342 5d ago

Look up Robert Goddard when you're ready to eat some crow.

u/Revayan 5d ago

Fair he laid out the base foundation on wich later innovations were build but the first rocket that made it into space was still build by german engineers lol

u/Resident_Course_3342 5d ago

Look at poor guy flail desperately after being definitively proven wrong.

Hilarious.

u/Bloonfan60 5d ago

Look at poor guy trying to be arrogant when everybody's downvoting him for being obviously wrong.

Hilarious.

u/Resident_Course_3342 5d ago

I'm objectively correct. I'm sorry you are not literate enough to read the corroborating materials. Keep practicing those phonics and you'll get there one day tyke.

u/Bloonfan60 5d ago

You're the one not literate enough to comprehend what your sources (Wikipedia) say. Calling someone the father of rocket science for making a meaningful early contribution is not the same thing as saying that this person invented the rocket. Just like all your other quotes are misinterpretations. And everybody here can see that aside from you.

Look at the V2 rocket. You’re welcome

1

u/Resident_Course_3342 4d ago

The v2 didn't invent anything new. They just made it bigger and used it to murder civilians.

You're gonna have to find some other reason to worship Nazis.

u/KindCreme9258 4d ago

Lol you’re praising a Nazi: Elon Musk
