"Fun fact; before he built rockets for the Nazis, the idealistic Wernher von Braun dreamed of space travel. He stargazed. Do you know what he said when the first V2 hit London? ‘The rocket performed perfectly. It just landed on the wrong planet'."
―Maya Hansen to Pepper Potts[src]

Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun was one of the top scientists of Nazi Germany during World War II.
