[Edit: Also, I want to say, For All Mankind is a great show to watch, its an alt-history on what if the USSR won the race to the moon, and the space race never ended. In the show, Von Braun was director of NASA, and it's from this tv series that I learn of Von Braun (and of Tom Lehrer).]
I first learned about Von Braun from the movie October Sky, where four boys in a 1950’s coal mining town start building model rockets; they look up to NASA’s chief rocket engineer.
It's kinda weird to read from people they learned about von Braun in movies first when he was part of history lessons in my school.

I couldn't bear the cringe anymore when the
