Neufeld, Senior Curator in the Space History Department of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and Author of Von Braun: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of War. Wernher von Braun started as a rocket engineer of the Third Reich and created the V-2 rocket, however, years later when his career ended, he was one of the fathers of the U.S. space program. In the second half of Explorations, Michio Kaku speaks with Daniel Charles, a former technology correspondent for National Public Radio and the New Scientist and Author of Master Mind, the story of Fritz Haber.
