Explanation:
Much of the history of Werner von Braun is shrouded in mystery, due to the possible rewriting of his own past as part of a de-Nazification process conducted by the US after his surrender. One thing is for sure: this guy loved rockets, and without his work on the V2 rocket and role as Director of NASA, the US would not have put a man on the moon when they did. Why is he a role model? It’s because of the fact that his aspirations transcended national boundaries; he just wanted to build rockets. Such single-minded devotion to a cause is an admirable trait.
