Doesn't surprise me either but it's a great loss to history IMO.

In the race to beat the Russians ( who were unknown to us already out of

but as an entire vehicle.
This apparently flabbergasted some of our immigrant German rocket
scientists.

It flew first time out though ( unmanned), flawlessly.
