Werhner Von Braun would not be impressed.

Werhner Von Braun crashed a LOT of V-2s, before he realized that quickly sucking the fuel and oxidizer out of the tanks allowed outside air pressure even at altitude to crush the rocket like an aluminum soda can.

It didn't help that in the early 1940s no one had ever seen an aluminum soda can...
