...their carbon chains. Some vegetable fats have one such point with two fewer hydrogen atoms and are "monounsaturated." Many vegetable and seed oils, and all fats from fish and marine mammals, lack the full complement of hydrogen atoms at two or more points and are "polyunsaturated."

By 1942, under the direction of Walter Dornberger and Wernher Von Braun, it had evolved into the dread V2, the first space-age rocket. After the successful test-firing of the V2, Dornberger turned to Von Braun and shouted exultantly: "Do you realize what we accomplished today? Today the spaceship was born...
