![]() This one had analysed, too, the space shuttle concept on demand of the German governement involved in the forthcoming spacelab program. In 1972 they were joined by a third men (another German brilliant rocket scientist!) Lutz Kayser. Heiss had close links with New York banks, Von Braun was of course very influent in the space industry. ![]() So the two men created the Apollo Hardware Fundation. They already knew that Shuttle hardware was coming and would push Apollo to museums after 1975 and Skylab missions. Von Braun and Heiss first met in 1970 and imediately sought to preserve remaining Apollo hardware. Once its task accomplished the young and brilliant austrian mathematician has become interested in private access to space, too. He had been tasked by NASA to analyse Shuttle economics for the next 15 years. There he met Klauss Heiss, an austrian scientist working for the Mathematica institute. ![]() Then he decided to refused it and to work for the space private sector which at the time was in infancy. In fact he had been removed from Marshall Space Center and proposed a honorific job at NASA. Thanks to this accident which had revealed a nascent cancer, Von Braun would live to its 90, dying only in 2002!īut this accident marked the end of its NASA carier, already near its completion at the time. A car accident resulted in serious injuries, particularly broken ribs.īut X-ray showed something even worse,as a tumor was found on one of its kidney.Fortunately it was very small and had not spreaded yet, it was removed by surgery. His Mars expedition project was dead now that NASA budget had dried out to 3.5 billion for 1970, not the 8 billion needed to reach the red planet.īut something worse happened to Von Braun itself. September 1969 saw a turn in Werner Von Braun life. Ok this absolutely not intend to be a realistic scenario, just something based on Reza Pahlavi great (megalomaniac?) projects of the 70's.
