Von Braun is widely seen as the "father of space travel", the "father of rocket science" or the "father of the American lunar program". In 1967, von Braun was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and in 1975, he received the National Medal of Science. In 1960, his group was assimilated into NASA, where he served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon.

He worked with Walt Disney on a series of films, which popularized the idea of human space travel in the U.S. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1 in 1958. Following the war, he was secretly moved to the United States, along with about 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. The V-2 became the first artificial object to travel into space on 20 June 1944.

He helped design and co-developed the V-2 rocket at Peenemünde during World War II. Īs a young man, von Braun worked in Nazi Germany's rocket development program. He was a member of the Nazi Party and Allgemeine SS, as well as the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany and later a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the United States. And that's why I love it so much, misshapen heroes, enemies, and all.Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun ( US: / ˌ v ɜːr n ər v ɒ n ˈ b r aʊ n/ VUR-nər von BROWN, German: 23 March 1912 – 16 June 1977) was a German and American aerospace engineer and space architect. What seems to exist totally at random is explained ever so succinctly by the end of the journey, which makes the ugliness of it all feel even more special. Perhaps it's because he knows there are no other games like Space Funeral nothing to rival the attitude or the aesthetic, which I harbor an intense and passionate love for.įrom the clashing color schemes to the flat 2D Frankenstein monster-esque heads that seem as though they've been scribbled on in MS Paint, Space Funeral is like an acid flashback filtered through RPG Maker and set to Ruth White's bizarre spoken-word "Spleen," and is beautifully corrupt and broken in every single way, down to the surreal landscapes, creatures, and ideals that permeate the land. Maybe Phillip exists in a state of existential torment and anguish that reaches into his very soul because he lives in a world where a creature known as a Leg Horse can amble up to him and verbally berate him, a contorted mass of bloody stumps with no real regard for anything other than itself. Maybe it's because there's a coffin with someone in it who looks just like Phillip.

It's not immediately apparent why Phillip is sad when you start up the game, whose options are "BLOOD, BLOOD and BLOOD" at the main menu. It kind of seems like she does, and his dad too. He's full-on ugly crying, grimacing in pain and shuffling through life looking as though his mother hates him. We aren't talking a few stray tears, either. Space Funeral stars a crying miscreant named Phillip who faffs about in striped pajamas while beating up bloody dogs. While we slumber, enjoy these fine words previously published as part of our Supporter program. RPS has sealed itself inside a chocolate egg for the duration of the UK's long holiday weekend, to emerge only when the reign of Mr Hops The Doom Rabbit has run its dread course.
