Here is an intersting bit of information on Tsien Hsue-shen, the 96-year-old architect of China’s ballistic missile program.

The story goes that he was deported back to China in September, 1955, taking with him information in his head about the US Titan missile program, which he used to develop Chinese ICBMs.

Small problem though, first contract for the Titan development program was not let until October 1955, a, “full month after he was deported to China.”

D’oh!!!! Maybe, just maybe, this guy was a rocket scientist, and had some brains about him.
