Konrad D. Hellblau was a rocket scientist during the pre- "Space Race".
He was from East Germany and was a vital part of their plans for space
exploration and rocketry.

Operation Paperclip was a secret project administered by U.S
Intelligence during WWII. The American military extricated Nazi
scientists and rocket data produced in Germany. They planned to adapt
the German rockets for their use in the American space exploration
program.

Wernher Von Braun created the V-2 rocket warhead in 1942.

He was brought to the United States via Paperclip in 1945.

Konrad D. Hellblau was a victim of shell shock and complete paranoia
from the alleged surveillance concerning rockets and weaponry in Germany at the time.

He was incredibly intelligent and in perfect physical condition to become a successful

space explorer. He wanted so much to walk on the surface of the moon and was

mesmerized by the mystery concerning outer space, in the most philosophical

and existential way.

However, like most geniuses of our time, Konrad D. Hellblau was prone
to impulsive tendencies and a victim of manic depression.

He successfully built a rocket, and upon hearing about

von Braun's capture and Operation Paperclip, he took flight in hopes of

saving his research.

The rocket was not ready, however, and has since landed in Berlin, near the

Zeiss-Großplanetarium.

This was a perfect crash landing site, despite the fact his rocket is stuck in a building.

Hellblau came across a Miss Sophie T Lvoff at this planetarium, as she lived nearby.

Lvoff vowed to help Mr. Hellblau dislodge his rocket from the building

and help with repairs, as she, like Hellblau, is mesmerized by the

mystery concerning outer space.

Upon returning to Berlin and visiting Peenemünde,

Miss Lvoff has since written a paper about her involvement in the

Space Race, which can be found at your local

libraries, as well as here.
