America, ever the dramatic ones, have copied the example of rocket roll-outs first seen in Frau im
Mond. They assemble everything in a closed hangar and then slowly roll out the vertical rocket to
its launching pad.

The Russians have typically followed what they deem to be a more reasonable model. Moving a fully
assembled rocket in an upright position where it is subject to high winds and instability is deemed
an impractical approach to rocket launches by the Russians. Consequently, they roll their rockets out
horizontally where they are far more stable and less subject to wind loads. The Russians only stand
the rockets upright once they reach the launch pad.

Fritz Lang also popularized the dramatic feature of the launch countdown. This moment of high
drama has been a centerpiece to every important launch in America. Wernher Von Braun learned
from the best. What he could not make, he could fake.

America is renowned for its theatrical productions, whether they be Broadway, Hollywood, or
NASA. The United States is the land of high drama. NASA has taken this drama to new heights.
Millions of people from around the world flock to Florida annually to visit such attractions as
Disneyworld, Universal Studios Theme Park, and the Space Coast encompassing Kennedy Space
Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Base. It is all a world of illusion, but it makes for great
entertainment. The show must go on!
