Would humans ever make it to space if WW2 never happened? To shut up any people who'll tell me WW2 would've happened no matter what let's just say Hitler got shot in WW1 and died. How long would it take to develop rocket technology with no Nazis and no V2?

All I can say is that a great deal of tech comes from the military:
internet
sattellites
rockets obviously
GPS
nuclear energy ?¿
radar
computers where rushed out for the enigma thing
(more examples anybody)
Matthew Wilson
With or without Hitler, the Treaty of Versailles was destroying Germany. Someone other than Hitler would have taken his place.
Daniel Ortiz
maybe, but the chances of another crazy fascist planning to genocide all Jews in camps taking power would be low. It'd likely be a communist authoritarian government instead. But that's besides the point because in this hypothetical world no WW2 ever happens
David King
The need for those technologies would still be there. I do believe it would've come eventually, perhaps through other means.
Xavier Wright
Okay fine I'll go with your question
The answer is that we would be behind at least 50 years worth of space tech right now. Most people don't know that the V2 rockets were as advanced as they are due to Hitler's obsession with terror-bombing London.
Hitler spent more money on developing V2 rockets than the Allies did on developing the nuclear bomb, even though Project Manhattan is considered the most expensive scientific project in history.

Can you better describe this hypothetical world for me? What are the women like there?
Grayson Evans
They're all racist, believe men are better fit to rule than they are, and don't wear dresses that go above the knees

>f another crazy fascist planning to genocide all Jews in camps taking power would be low.
Sorry bro but this happened more than once, all over the world, in other countries, maybe not with jews but with other minorities,stalin, pil pot, slaves, mao, best korea, admenians, tutsi hutu, etc etc
Gabriel Murphy
without WWII and the cold war we would not be as advanced technologically as we are today
