Oh, what a flopnik! The Vanguard rocket that held the satellite failed miserably, blowing up before take-off.

Das Fiasko wurde life im Fernsehen übertragen. Nach dem Start des russischen Sputnik 1 lachte man über die USA, nach dem Start von Vanguard 1 spottete man nur noch über die USA vom "Kaputtnik" und "Flopnik" war die Rede.

    I love the 1950s strutty, cartoony-like dramatic music that's running in the background throughout this clip... With my inner eye, I can just see Bugs Bunny driving Porky Pig nutters accompanied by this very same score. :D

    WvB said this would fail...

    He was right.

    That's when he was made director of NASA's space program, drawing upon his and his Nazi team's pioneering science into rocketry, work carried out at the Peenemunde Army Research Centre (founded 1937), birthplace of modern rocketry and aerospace engineering.
