0027286 - MAN'S "LAST GREAT ADVENTURE" AHEAD. LOS ANGELES : A manned space station will circle the world 1,075 miles above the Earth by 1985, DR. Wernher Von Braun (right), one of the world's foremost rocket experts, has predicted. DR. Von Braun, who built the Nazi's V - 2 rocket during World War II and now works for the U.S. Government, believes the plan to launch a satellite within three years marks the beginning of man's "last great adventure", the conquest of space. DR. Von Braun is shown here with space travel expert Willy Ley (left), demonstrating the orbit in which a man-made satellite will rotate. 02-08-55
