What are the effects on the space race and missile development post-WW2? Does this lead to a less intense space race, since Korolev is not around to push the Soviets to make a satellite?
I'm interested. But I sense a serious curbstomping awaiting anyone who makes any errors in "button-count" issues (i.e., "any FOOL knows the US enlisted naval uniform pants uses 13 buttons, NOT 12! Get off this forum and stick to ASB, YOU WORM!Anyone else interested in this? Anyone?

Wonderful thought - but you end up with only ~20% of the mass in orbit being payload, basically. Sänger's vehicles would have burned up on re-entry.Having Eugen Sanger in charge instead of Von Braun or Korolev’s my favourite, skipping the whole “throw away” missile era and proceeding straight to re-usable space planes.
