This explains why till now I'd never explicitly considered the question of what was the first man-made thing to make it into space. We don't talk about that milestone. [引用 @MilHistNow]: On this day in 1942, Nazi Germany test fires the first V-2 rocket from the Peenemünde test facility. Reaching altitudes of 52 miles, the missiles are the first man-made projectiles to leave Earth's atmosphere and reach space. https://t.co/83s8RhNguM
