There was this joke when I was a child. The Soviets sent a rocket to the Moon, the Americans watched them, but did nothing. The Soviets landed on the Moon, the Americans watched them, but did nothing. The Soviets took out barrels of red paint from the rocket and started painted the Moon red, the Americans watched them, but did nothing. Once the Moon was completely red, the Soviets got on the rocket and returned home. "Well, guys," the US president said, "get a can of white paint, fly to the Moon and write Enjoy Coca-Cola there!" `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Re^2: If you were the first to set foot on the Moon, what would be your epigram? by karlgoethebier (Abbot) on Jul 23, 2019 at 13:39 UTC
BTW, Wernher von Braun was never a general. Just SS-Sturmbannf�hrer which was something like Major in the Wehrmacht which is/was a rank similar to Captain in the U.S. Army as far as I remember. The F�hrer promoted him to "Professor" at the end of the war. Yet another useless title. And his role in the U.S. space program is totally overestimated according to some newer findings.

his role in the U.S. space program is totally overestimated... I can't read german and so I can't see what the arguments are for von Braun's role being overestimated. it's understandable (judging from mankind's history) that a lot of people if they could would revise history and flush out a "nazi" (notice the quotes) or at least the inventor of the V2 (but not the one who gave the order to fire it onto civilians) from one of their nation's greatest achievements. I mean peaceful achievements ... I am for using knowledge wherever it comes from (not the same as banning some knowledge as too dangerous, e.g. nuclear bomb), but I am willing to discuss this and possibly change my mind. The dilemma being if said knowledge was a product of human/animal exploitation or just unethical and we used it, it may encourage further exploitation and we may find ourselves back to colonialism and the slave-trade. The DNA trio and the unfortunate fourth (the only female btw) is a case where colleagues antagonize and eventually backstub others. Sure Capitalism is based on the exploitation of labour of human beings. A lot of medicines and technology came from overworking and profiting from your workers (foxconn and france telecom suicides are an example of extreme exploitation). MOST importantly, not everyone has access to the products of that knowledge - do you know what diabetes medicines cost in some countries? So, what was the sacrifice and pain all about? The profit of the few? But my problem is with the hypocricy behind trying to eliminate the roles of disputable knowledge and people after we used them and made sure we sucked out all we could from them. Operation_Paperclip brought to the USA 1600 nazi (with or without quotes) to transfer knowledge gained under the 3rd reich and even from within auswitch so it was very intentional. Set the rules against exploitation and that backstubbing antagonism first, then punish those that violate the rules. Any knowlegde smuggled through should be stripped from authorship and eliminate its source. But keep it and reuse it- it was too expensive to gain anyway. But those in power, media or government, please! spare us the hypocricy. In the name of science bw, bliako	[reply]

> BTW, Wernher von Braun was never a general. Just SS-Sturmbannf�hrer Don't you think he would have been promoted till 69? Please compare Sergei_Korolev#Awards_and_honours > his role in the U.S. space program is totally overestimated IIRC he popularized the idea with the help of a Disney TV show, before NASA was even founded. NB: I wasn't too serious just watching a lot of alternate reality shows, while weirdos are taking over real governments.
