V-2 Rocket

The V-2 rocket (Vergeltungswaffe 2) was a ballistic missile used by the Germans to bomb targets during World War 2. It holds distinction as being the world's first Ballistic Missile and the first man-made object to achieve Sub-Orbital Spaceflight. It was the second in a series of "Vengeance Weapons", following the V1 "Buzz Bomb".
