The Disney touch
Eric,
It is interesting that the primary rocket scientists hosting this series were all a part of the German NAZI rocket program just a few years before. And along with Chief designer Von Braun they designed, built (using slave labor) and launched the V-1 and V-2 rockets that almost leveled London in WW-2. Disney really had to sanatize this aspect of the series for a conservative, post war 50's audience. This is just an historical observation, and doesn't detract from the overall quality of the shows.
