Von Braun was an active proponent of utilizing space stations as " base camps" to other planets and satellites. Hermann Oberth was Von Brauns mentor and was a pioneer in suggesting that space stations would be essential if humans wished to travel to other planets. Charles Lundquist was the chief of the Physics and Astrophysics branch within the former Research Projects Division at NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on June 28,1958, we witness a momentous presentation on orbital trajectories at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency in Huntsville, Alabama. Charles Lundquist, the esteemed chief of the Physics and Astrophysics branch at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, stands confidently on the right side of the frame. With his hand raised in an expressive gesture towards a blackboard filled with intricate diagrams and calculations, Lundquist captivates his audience. To his left stands Hermann Oberth, renowned as Wernher Von Braun's mentor and a true pioneer in advocating for space stations as crucial stepping stones to interplanetary travel. On Von Braun's other side is none other than Wernher Von Braun himself – a visionary engineer who passionately believed in utilizing space stations as "base camps" for future missions to planets and satellites. The image captures not only their intellectual prowess but also their shared dedication to advancing our understanding of space exploration. These brilliant minds were instrumental in shaping NASA's trajectory towards unprecedented achievements. As we gaze upon this historic photograph from over six decades ago, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come since that time. It symbolizes humanity's unyielding curiosity about what lies beyond our planet and pays homage to these remarkable scientists who paved the way for generations of rocket scientists and engineers to follow.
