S uvazheniem.

Voobshe-to Fau-2 yavno vnizu, a WAC Corporal - sverhu.

- Imenno tak. Fraza " Shown above, the Bumper 2 was an ambitious two-stage rocket program that topped a V-2 missile base with a WAC Corporal rocket." perevoditsya kak "Pokazannaya vyshe Bamper-2 byla ambicioznoi programmoi dvuhstupenchatoi rakety, v kotoroi na bazovuyu raketu V-2 byla vodruzhena raketa WAC Corporal"

Zamechu, chto WAC Corporal - karlik po sravneniyu s V-2, kotoraya dostigala bezvozdushnogo prostranstva eshe v 1937-1938 godah. A vsya amerikanskaya kosmicheskaya programma derzhalas' do 1973 goda na Vernere fon Braune, general'nom konstruktore V-2 (Fau-2) i drugih germanskih raket III Reiha. A posle ego neozhidannoi smerti v 1973 godu byla svernuta s "Appolonov" Brauna na chelnoki, ne prodvinuvshie Ameriku vglub' kosmosa za poslednie 40 let.

I eshe. Imenno s trofeinyh Fau-2 i tehnologii zavodov fon Brauna nachalas' kosmicheskaya programma SSSR.
