On July 16, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong took "one small step for a man" and became the first human being to set food on the moon. But the person most responsible for this amazing technological achievement was not on board the tiny landing craft that had brought Armstrong to the lunar surface. Like millions of other people around the world, Wernher von Braun watched the lunar landing on television.
