Wernher von Braun
German-American rocket engineer. Technical director of Nazi Germany's V-2 program at Peenemünde - mass-produced at the Mittelwerk using concentration-camp forced labor. Brought to the U.S. under Operation Paperclip; became the first director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and the architect of the Saturn V behind Apollo. Per his former Fairchild spokesperson Carol Rosin, before his 1977 death he warned of a manufactured sequence of threats ending in a faked alien invasion - a striking but single-source, uncorroborated claim.
In neither threadRuled on 3 September 2026 as belonging to NEITHER thread. It is on this map through rocketry and Operation Paperclip - Carol Rosin's account of his extraterrestrial-threat warning sits on her record, not on his. AN EMPTY SUBJECT IS A RULING, NOT A GAP - a missing field would have meant nobody had looked.

Notes on this record
THE BIRTH DATE WAS REMOVED ON THE OPERATOR'S RULING, 2 September 2026. This node carried 1912-03-23 - von Braun's actual date of birth - and it was the only lifespan on this map. Every other person here is dated by the moment the record first has them doing the thing that puts them on this map: Oppenheimer at Trinity, Twining at his memo, Fravor at the Nimitz encounter, Targ and Swann at SRI. A birth date is biography; this is not a biographical map. WHAT 1972 MARKS, AND WHERE IT COMES FROM. It is the year this file already says he joined Fairchild Industries - the vonbraun -> fairchild connection reads "vice president at Fairchild Industries, 1972-77, after leaving NASA", and the fairchild node is itself dated 1972-01-01. Fairchild is where both of this map's von Braun claims are located: Carol Rosin was his spokesperson there and says he warned her of a manufactured threat sequence ending in a faked alien invasion, and the fairchild role names it as the setting Uri Geller's ring account ties to. The number is taken from records already on this file and not from outside it. THE DAY IS A PLACEHOLDER. -01-01 is this map's convention for a year with no established day, and no day is established. NOTHING NARROWER IS CLAIMED: Rosin's own node says she was his spokesperson from 1974, so if the anchor should be the start of that relationship rather than the start of his time at Fairchild, 1974 is the alternative and it is a judgement, not a correction. THE END DATE IS UNCHANGED. 1977-06-16 is his death, and it stays: it is a different fact from a birth date, it carries its own kind and basis, and it is what keeps him out of the possibly-living screen.
Verified 2 September 2026 against Wikipedia, "Wernher von Braun", fetched that day: "Von Braun died on 16 June 1977 of pancreatic cancer in Alexandria, Virginia, at age 65." Matches the end recorded here to the day. CORROBORATED BY THIS NODE'S OWN ROLE TEXT, which refers to "his 1977 death". RECORDED GRADE: fetched secondary source, not a primary document read by eye. It is recorded so a reader can check it, and it is the same grade as the fourteen death dates already on this map.
