Can't remember when the last flight of the V2 was, but for some reason 1954
sticks in my mind. Way before NASA. It was at least past 1952 because the
50th anniversary of x-ray astronomy was just recently and the first x-ray
astronomy mission was on a V2 sounding rocket. Further, I'm thinking that
the last flight of V2 hardware was an NRL Viking, but don't quote me on
that.
