Ep 211: Playing With The Devil's Venom - The Nedelin Catastrophe

from Doomed to Fail Hosted by Taylor Pineiro, Farz Sokhansanj

Post WWII, where did all the Rocket Scientists go? Specifically, where did all the GERMAN Rocket Scientests go? Essentially, they went to the highest bidder; some, like Werner von Braun, went to the US, and others went to Russia. Today, we'll tell the story of the race to get a bigger and better ICBM - and how, in a rush to show strength, an undetermined number of people were reduced to ash in The Nedelin Catastrophe.
