152093Washington D.C.: National Space Institute 1976. First edition of this biography on the legendary father of modern rocketry. Octavo original cloth astrological endpapers illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Boldly signed by Wernher von Braun on the half-title page. Lengthily inscribed by aerospace industry pioneer Dr. Carol Sue Rosin who worked closely with von Braun at Fairchild Corporation on the verso of the front free endpaper "Dec. 76 Marcy and Freddy Happy New Year! Not only is my personal life happy but professionally - fantastic. Working with Dr. von Braun has been an incredible experience. Hope you've had a happy '76 too and wish you so many more!!! Love Carol Sue." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Dr. Carol Sue Rosin is space policy advocate and missile defense consultant whose career occupies a singular position at the intersection of aerospace history peace activism and space demilitarization. She became the first woman executive in the American aerospace industry as Corporate Manager at Fairchild Industries where she also served as spokesperson for the late Dr. Wernher von Braun the father of rocketry a role she assumed when von Braun was in the final years of his life dying of cancer and required a surrogate to carry his vision of peaceful space development to public audiences. Her first speech on his behalf was delivered to 18000 educators at a National Education Association conference where she introduced satellites as a tool for teachers and together with von Braun she created the award-winning "It's Your Turn" educational program to expand the participation of youth women and minorities in science and technology. She is perhaps best known as the original political architect of the movement to prevent the weaponization of space and stop the Strategic Defense Initiative and Anti-Satellite Weapons programs and in 1983 she founded the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space whose original honorary chairman was Sir Arthur C. Clarke with Apollo astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell serving as advisory board chairman. She co-authored the Outer Space Security and Development Treaty draft with distinguished colleagues including Apollo Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell Commander Will Miller of the U.S. Navy Dr. Abe Krieger a thirty-seven year Boeing executive and Dr. C.B. Scott Jones military intelligence specialist and senior adviser to Senator Claiborne Pell and has testified before the U.S. House Senate and the Presidential Commission on Space on multiple occasions in pursuit of a legally binding international ban on space-based weapons. An exceptional association. Reputedly the father of rocket technology and space science in the United States German aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun moved to the United States after WWII as part of Operation Paperclip. While working for the United States Army von Braun developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1 and acted as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. Von Braun recieved the National Medal of Science in 1975 and has been featured in countless movies television series and novels including Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow and the 1998 television miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. According to one NASA source he is "without doubt the greatest rocket scientist in history. His crowning achievement was to lead the development of the Saturn V booster rocket that helped land the first men on the Moon in July 1969." National Space Institute hardcover
