Technically, yes, Werner von Braun and his Nazi pals

America was paying their salaries. Wright-Patterson AFB was teeming with Nazis, living in their own compound, at least until they could be distributed further afield for camouflage.

You'll love this: the Nazis never had to pay any taxes.

If you want something to really make you itch, dig on how many Germans ended up not just at NASA but at all the military industrial contracting companies. Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, all of 'em.

America just decided to work them into the national fabric and keep the hoopla to a minimum. The Russians got probably just as many, but Russia was SO ANGRY at Germany for murdering so many million Russians that they treated them like total shit once they had them in country. Russia hated them so much that they didn't exploit them as much as they could have. The hatred was justified: they lost 20 million people. Not just Jews - it was anyone and everyone.

We just gave them money to make them bring America up to par technologically with where the Germans were. We weren't, and aren't, taught in school how far ahead they were, and the degree of difference is really shocking. Are they genetically more intelligent? Maybe so.

Well, that did make it easier for security to whisk him out of the room. Kek

The hero worship heaped onto von Braun was pretty awful. Awards, TV appearances (one with Walt Disney himself - propaganda much?)

Yeah, most of those guys died of old age and in comfort, same as the ones in South America. Just a travesty of justice.

I've lost count of how many mentions of Caesar have appeared here. I don't think this is any coincidence; even Q has alluded to Shakespeare's version of the story and it's made me wonder which member of the team is a classical scholar.

It's been a relief to me that someone behind the scenes has studied history, and is applying lessons learned from it.

At her age, and given recent speaking events, I wouldn't believe her if she told me what she had for breakfast.

If the intent of today's show was to make Democrats and their harebrained protesters look ridiculous, it's working beautifully.

No, Senate Judiciary hearings are open to the public, first-come, first-serve. The room isn't huge, so it will seat about 40 members of the public. Room 226, Dirksen Senate Office building.

Also without doxxing, my late father spent his career at Lockheed (pre-Martin merger) and one colleague of his visited us at home when I was a high school kid in the 70's/80's. That colleague's name was extremely German. The man's hobby was writing computer code to predict stock market activity. He was astonishingly gifted at anything electronic, and Dad swore he could rebuild anything by sheer intuition. If he didn't like the way something worked; i.e., if it was running too hot, slow, or noisily, he'd just rebuild it until it suited him. I don't know if he'd attended college here.

He was open about how he and his family had barely walked out of Germany with just one suitcase of belongings.

He apparently worked in the same area as my father, and I was almost 50 years old before it was declassified and he'd discuss it a little.

I respect the burden of secrecy that those men carried.

Not even my mother knew what my father did, and I just grew up thinking that no one's father ever talked about work at home. That was just what normalcy was to us.

You're so fortunate to have met some of the Mercury 7 astronauts. Man, I'd have been speechless.
