Von Opel survived his rocket flying.

He lived until 1971, long enough to watch human beings walk on the Moon, to see the aircraft his experiments helped inspire evolve into supersonic jets and spacecraft he could not have fully imagined when he was being chased down the Avus track by his own rocket exhaust.

I wonder sometimes what he thought about all of it, whether he recognized the thread connecting those sixteen smoking rockets on a Frankfurt grass strip to the Saturn V climbing from the Florida coast, whether he knew in the years before he died that the conversation started that September morning had not ended and would not end for a very long time.
