Walt Disney and Dr. Wernher von Braun, then Chief of Guided Missile Development Operation Division for the US Army, was visited by Disney in 1954. In the 1950's, Von Braun (holding a model of the XR-1 experimental aircraft) worked with the Disney Studios as a technical director, making three films about space exploration for Disney’s television show. He also worked as a consultant for the Rocket to the Moon attraction at Disneyland. A model of the V-2 rocket (which the attraction’s rocket was based on) is in the background.
