> Your hypothetical assertion is heavily undermined by the actual reality of what happened with Werner Von Braun.
How so? Werner Von Braun didn't invent the A-Bomb. His rockets were more of a novelty than anything. A single firebomb killed more people and caused more damage than all the V2 rockets during ww2. And Von Braun's weapons weren't used against the US. It was used against britain.
If Werner Von Braun developed nukes and germany nuked San Fran and Baltimore, do you really believe he'd be a director of NASA? Rather than undermining it, your example supports my assertion.
Werner Von Braun was responsible for no american civilian death. If he was responsible for 200,000 deaths and poisoning hundreds of thousands of american civilians with radiation and we allowed him to be a director of NASA, maybe you'd be right.
von braun used jewish slave labor to build rockets used to terrorize civilians on behalf of the nazi regime. he's still generally remembered as a quirky scientist archetype, disconnected from the fruits of his labors.
Yes. That wasn't nice of von braun. But what does jewish slave labor in europe have to do with the US? Did Israel ask von braun to help them with their space/rocket programs? What does british civilians have to do with the US.
The point is if von braun had enslaved hundreds of thousands of americans and then killed them, we wouldn't have made him a director of NASA. If you can show me where von braun murdered hundreds of thousands of americans, I am more than willing to change my mind.
The fact that you are trying to equate v2 rockets with hiroshima and nagasaki shows that your innate bias is making to you grasp at straws and generate a false narrative. But then again, that's my point. Bias in history.
