[PAR] [TLE] V-2 rocket [SEP] The V-2 (German: "Vergeltungswaffe 2" , "Retribution Weapon 2"), technical name Aggregat 4 (A4), was the world's first long-range guided ballistic missile.  The missile with a liquid-propellant rocket engine was developed during the Second World War in Germany as a "vengeance weapon", assigned to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings against German cities.  The V-2 rocket also became the first artificial object to travel into outer space by crossing the Kármán line with the vertical launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944. [PAR] [TLE] Orbit Jet [SEP] The Orbit Jet was a fictional spaceship in the 1954 TV series "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger".  It strongly resembled a V-2 rocket in overall form, with a very prominent exhaust plume when flying, but had wings in addition to tailfins (even its radio callsign, "XV-2" relates it to that seminal World War II design).  There were references in the dialog to the engines being "atomic".  The "Orbit Jet" had a crew of two (pilot and copilot), but often had three or four others on board depending on the mission and destination.  It often flew from Earth to inhabited moons of Jupiter and Saturn, which it seemed to reach in hours or days of time within the story.
