Can anyone tell me more about the 1950's US Flying Saucer program

Yep.  We beat the Russians to the moon because we got more Nazi's than they did.

The US went to the moon on Nazi Rockets and Canadian Engineering

...... and only a couple decades after making the world safe for Canadian Engineers.

i always think of MIGs when i see a shape like that, way ahead of the game for 58, those germans were pretty close to having their own jets/bombers when WW2 came to an end
i know they actually had them but with limited use and the bomber they were building would of reached the US

Just to set the record straight the Britt's were the pioneering force on jet turbine engines first and after the war freely shared with USSR. The MIG was built around a carbon copy of what they were shown!
  Also, as early as WW1 the Germans had plans to bomb the east coast of the USA with Zeppelins and U Boats!

So I hear talk of Canadians, Brits, and Germans.  What about Romans.  I thought it was their horses that determined the width of our rockets.

TECHNICALLY yes ONLY because it was easier to ship a rocket by rail than by road.

they may have been a pioneering force but its the germans who had the plane up and those same scientists did come over here to develop the nasa rockets

Knew someone who recently passed away who worked with Von Braun in 1947.....

Then we got our time as world leaders in science and technology.
