Before they moved under NASA's jurisdiction, von Braun's team had already begun work on improving the thrust, creating a less complex operating system, and designing better mechanical systems.
Prije no što su se preselili pod jurisdikciju NASA-e, von Braunov tim je već počeo raditi na poboljšanju potiska, stvarajući manje složen operativni sustav i osmišljavajući bolje mehaničke sustave.
