Human history is filled with some very amazing accomplishments.
It seems that some of our greatest achievements arise out of the ashes like the mythical Phoenix – ood things come from very bad experiences.
Humankind’s work in aeronautics, jet and rocket propulsion, was advanced decades due to the Second World War. German scientists worked around the clock to make major leaps in all of these areas. After the war, many of these scientists were conscripted to work for NASA. The space program was quickly accelerated because of war-time research.
Other inventions that came from the war included synthetic rubber and oil, pressurized aircraft cabins, radar and helicopters.
