Before being appointed as the chief rocket designer of the former Soviet Union, korolev served in Siberia for six years and was tortured. After he was released from prison, the space hegemony of the United States and the Soviet Union was completely destroyed by the Soviet Union except for the last moon landing (of course, this was related to the initial suppression of wernher von braun by the United States). It is generally believed that the first manned spacecraft, the first lunar probe, the first Venus probe, the first Mars probe and the first spacewalk are mostly related to korolev. Moreover, the R7 rocket he developed more than 50 years ago (10 times the thrust of Redstone rocket used by Braun to send American astronauts into suborbital space) has been in use ever since, and it is the most important launch vehicle in Russia. You can imagine how advanced his technology was at that time.

Besides, wernher von braun, a 22-year-old doctor, was undoubtedly the top rocket expert in the world at that time. After seeing wernher von braun in the American paper clip project, both Von Carmen and Qian Xuesen were shocked by the V 1 V2 missile designed by him, and sending a man to the moon was the peak of wernher von braun's whole career, which made him go down in history.

Personally, I think the strength of two people should be evenly matched.

I watched a documentary about them for nearly four hours. Lz can look for it Korolev frowned when he first saw the photo of V2, the designer of the missile V 1. He knows he is a genius, and he has been an opponent all his life. When wernher von braun knew that the late korolev was the chief designer of the space industry of the former Soviet Union, he also said this: "It turned out that he was always alone."

Heroes cherish heroes. Although we have never met, it is still very touching and exciting ~
