Bumper V-2 LaunchĀ (July 24, 1950) A new chapter in space flight began in July 1950 with the launch of the first rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida: the Bumper 8. Shown above, Bumper 8 was an ambitious two-stage rocket program that topped a V-2 missile base with a WAC Corporal rocket. Or in other words, it was a German V2 Rocket just without the warhead but with measurement equipment instead, e.g., a photo camera (which made the first picture of the Earth from space in history of humankind). The upper stage was able to reach then-record altitudes of almost 400 kilometers, higher than even modern Space Shuttles fly today. Launched under the direction of the General Electric Company, Bumper 8 was used primarily for testing rocket systems and for research on the upper atmosphere . Bumper rockets carried small payloads that allowed them to measure attributes including air temperature and cosmic ray impacts. Seven years later, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I and Sputnik II, the first satellites into Earth orbit. In response, in 1958, the US created NASA . *Image Credit*: NASA Image Number: 66P-0631

Nazi āV-2 rocketā concentration camp liberation remembered
Concentration camp survivors gathered at a memorial near Nordhausen, Germany, to commemorate the liberation of the former Nazi concentration camp Mittelbau-Dora.
Hitlerās V-2 rocket, the first long-range ballistic missile to be used in combat, was produced in the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp. Estimates put the number of prisoners used by the Germans for building a tunnel complex and Vā2 rocket production site at Mittelbau at more than 60,000.
Over 25,000 of these were killed either by beatings, starvation and sickness in the complex, or by the brutal efforts of the SS to relocate them before the Americans arrived in April, 1945. (AP)
