Dr. Wernher von Braun Autograph on an October 16, 1962, three page typed memo on George C. Marshall Space Flight Center letterhead stationery from Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger (Director, Research Projects Division" to Dr. von Braun and others regarding "Research Program Funding by OMSF". One of the points in his memo is "We should make it clear that the areas which need funding so badly are NOT required to make the first Saturn C-5 fly. In fact, I believe that the manned lunar landing in 1967 could be achieved WITHOUT the research which we propose here. However WITH this research, we will be able to build better and more reliable C-5s, better and more modern Nova's and better and more advanced space systems, in the period beginning around 1964". Dr. von Braun has highlighted several paragraphs in pencil and marked "File. Research Projects" on the first page. He has signed this with his characteristic "B" and the date "11/13".
