[@spaceflight1019]

​@@chrisreaney1980Such a simplistic viewpoint. Von Braun wanted to conquer space, not England. He used Hitler's resources for his research and development and dragged out the development of the V2 until it was too late for the Germans. When the war ended the Soviets captured some of his scientists and the rest came to America. Gene Kranz has a fascinating chapter on the Germans in his book, "Failure Is Not An Option". Easter egg from BTTF3: Doc Brown mentioned that his name is actually Von Braun and that his father changed it during the first world war. Perhaps Doc is a relative?

[@BiblicalFlatEarth]

@@williamborregard6384​​⁠Well written. Before the Nazis started NASA (beguile), and then paired with Disney, the world was flat. They created a globe model well before the fake “blue marble” CGI was passed off as a real “photo.” How did they know suddenly, within one year, that the earth was a sphere? They know it’s not.

Nah... it would. Remember they managed this way back in the 1950's... when they were far worse off than this, and technology and any knowledge of space(based on experience) was really in a pitiful state. Launching a rocket into space isn't hard anymore- not for a very long time. Private companies do it all the time in order to launch satellites into space (there are thousands upon thousands of self-launched satellites). The only thing prohibiting you and a bunch of guys from down the pub, launching your own rocket on some random day, using a DIY launchpad, and orbiting the earth at least once.... is the price of fuel... and government regulations! The tech to make it possible is everywhere, relatively "cheap"- and some of it free: AI, materials, electronics, CPUs, SoCs and more. It's all "cheap" and easy to come by- and the knowledge of physics and space is well-tested and well-grounded, and plentiful.
