Speaking of JFK in the video: QUESTION: Where is the FBI concerning the JFK incident? Supposedly, President Biden has sealed documents concerning JFK, that by law were supposed to be released to the public by now, but at the CIA's request, President Biden did not release those documents. a. Why are there secret sealed documents in the first place concerning JFK? b. Why exactly does the CIA not want President Biden to release those documents? c. Why exactly is President Biden not following the law by releasing those documents? d. What exactly is in those documents that the CIA and President Biden do not want the public to know? e. Why exactly is the Secret Service and the FBI even a part of this cover-up even to this very day? * Justice For JFK, no matter how long it takes.
Okay, since yooo toobe cens or s anything related to any *science* behind it(not even the mission itself which I not dared mention directly for algorhytm reasons already) *this badly* I can only conclude that this entire mission was indeed a *fake* and never happened. Okay case closed, got my final answer to it finaly. Hence will be my last visit on this channel too sadly, I can do well well without propa ganda.
You know what is even harder for me to believe as a scientist? How humans were able to penetrate the Van der Vaals Belt and come back with 0 radiation damage.
^^ That sadly is literaly about the only fraction of the comment I can get through this dystopian cens or ing machine... Clearly, certain powers at work do not want anyone to even go as far as mentioning or questioning any *science* behind it. And that alone speaks volumes and answers my question as to if this entire "mission" ever happened or not. Clearly, it did not.
yes, i would love a serious movie about him. Not those cheesy "History" channel takes. And what was the deal with him and walt disney? They became super close.. and we all know Walts and his perspective on the jewish ppl. Seems a little shady imo
I had a lot of family in Huntsville. As a kid, I got shipped there in the summer to hang out with cousins. It wasn't until I was an adult, that I got into history. When I learned that Von Braun lived in Huntsville, I said...OMG...For all I know, we may have driven by his house. History is rich and complex. Thanks for expanding it just a little bit more. 👍🏿
It would be very naive to think he wasn't complicit in such things as using forced labor. Maybe he didn't care, but not caring doesn't absolve you of war crimes.
As an engineer who worked at MSFC NASA n Huntsville in the 90s, I CRINGE every time I hear the term “rocket scientist “. These Germans were rocket engineers and I was able to meet one who gave a speech at NASA. Scientists think about things. Engineers do things.
@ Jack, Science is potential energy, engineering is the kinetic result of scientific thinking. If Dr. von Braun were confined to a wheelchair, he would still be a great rocket scientist. Trust me, I think about $hit all of the time, and then I get other people to do all of the heavy lifting for me.
The funny thing about your comment is that I’m an older engineer now near retirement. And use a wheelchair. But I’m still an engineer, not a scientist. When I said engineers “do things “, I mean they design, analyze and test things like rockets. I was only being somewhat disparaging of scientists just for fun. In my mind the actual science behind rocketry was well before Von Braun. It included people from Newton, Navier, Joules, Carnot, Kelvin and many others that worked out the physics and equations that Von Braun and engineers today use when developing rockets.
@@wcg19891 Hans Bethe of Manhattan Project fame (along with Morrison) said something similar. The physics was understood. The Manhattan Project was an engineering project, not a scientific one. I'm not smart enough to challenge either of those gentlemen !
I saw him, live. Lecturing at Millersville University. (Just outside of Lancaster, PA.) When I was in High School Physics class. This was 1974. He spoke of hopes to create new metalic alloys in the absence of gravity (out in space). The goal was to make super-conductors at room temperature. Which was expected to allow them to create computer memory more dense than the human brain. I suspect our present day "thumb drives" or "flash drives" have achieved this storage capacity.
@@kushclarkkent6669 Thank you. Now in a fit of ego, I will quote Bugs Bunny: "Yes I know it. ... I can't help it.". This is from an episode "What's Opera, Doc?" Where Bugs and Elmer Fudd are acting out a Wagnerian opera. Bugs in drag, is deceiving Elmer -- who is smitten by his beauty. Elmer sings: "Oh bwoom-hilda ... you're so wov-wee." Then Bugs toys with him. "Yes, I know it. I can't help it."
According to one book during development l, the V2 was falling apart as it came down. The engineers wanted to see it happen so decided that they would target an open field and stand directly at the point they were targeting reasoning that they knew they weren’t that accurate so should be safe. That day they were pretty accurate and the rocket came down within a hundred yards of them. Fortunately for them just far enough they weren’t killed. But still pretty funny. Or at least I think so!
When I was a tee,ager we would get the visit of WvB's niece. She told us that she did not see her uncle often, but when she did, he was always accompanied by half a dozen or more bodyguards.
Newsthink Dr Wernher Von Braun wasn't really controversial, he was an innocent and talented engineering scientists and genius. Because ever since he read a book about rockets and going into space, he had the ambition and he really wanted to make it all a reality. The truth is throughout his life, he had been fascinated and willing to build rocket ships to go into space. I also do believe that he never wanted to be involved with conflict and war, and I really do believe he was one of them that never believed in conflict and war. I also do believe that in his vision, he never wanted to design and make rocket fuel for conflict and war. He wanted his ideas as peaceful purposes, because he really wanted to use his ideas and visions for space only. Because his number one dream and goal was to build rocket ships to go into space, and he hoped that spaceflight will be the future of traveling into outer space. As well as exploration to go to the Moon and even the red planet Mars. I really believe that Dr Wernher Von Braun really wanted to do those ideas, and that they were part of his vision of space travel and space exploration. and he wanted to build rocket ships to do all of that. And even though he worked for the nazis, and I'm very happy that you've explained in this video. Because later on when he was still with the nazis, he became a prisoner himself. Because they were evidence that he was tortured in prison, and when he was released. He wore a very big bandage on his arm. And whenever I would see that picture, I do believe that they probably broke his arm. The Nazis that is, because I really believe those guys had somehow tortured him in prison. Because I do believe later on Von Braun realized that he was making weapons for the Nazis, and I believe he was scarred and affected by it so badly. And I do believe he was ashamed of himself for making weapons, that he really wanted to make rocket ships to go into outer space. So I do believe at some point later on he wanted to escape the Nazis, and vowing himself never to make weapons ever again. Another thing I do believe that he told some of those Nazis that he really wanted to make rocket ships to go into space and that's it, but they didn't care of what he really wanted to do. And I do believe that they forced him to make weapons anyway, and if Von Braun didn't cooperate and didn't follow their orders. He too would be their prisoner, in which he was later on during World War II. And I do believe they did torture him in prison, forcing him to make weapons for the Nazis. Luckily when the war was over, Von Braun was released out of prison. I believe he was worried at first if he would be arrested by Americans, but luckily they did not arrest him. They had been fascinated of his scientist skills, and engineering talents to build rockets. And so in a way I believe the Americans really saved and rescued him away from the Nazis. And so Dr Wernher Von Braun had a new and better life to make his ideas and visions into a reality in the United States. And then former President Eisenhower formed NASA in the late 1950s, and decided that Dr Wernher Von Braun should be the lead technician, engineer and scientists of all of the rockets they would build at NASA. Dr Wernher Von Braun was really a genius and a true visionary, as well as a dreamer. Because for all of his life he wanted to make spaceflight a reality with space travel and space exploration, with powerful rocket ships that he wanted to design and build. Alive today, I believe Dr Wernher Von Braun would continue his ideas and visions to focus only two outer space
The production was originally with the engineering development at Peenemunde on the Baltic Sea. The Allies got word and bombed it. Due to that the Nazis moved production to the Nordhausen cave complex and started using slave labor instead of German labor due to secrecy concerns. But the V2 had many operational failures. Nobody knows how many of these slave laborers threw in dirt or pebbles deep in the rocket.
I'm puzzled by the fact von Braun never (if I'm correct) attended debriefing conferences after Apollo missions, at least not the public ones. You'd think the father of rocketry would.
Born in the year of Sputnik, I grew up with the space program. Apollo was discussed in school every day for two years prior to the moon landing. The White House and NASA propaganda was hot & heavy at that time. Although I was a top science student and the NASA liaison for my school, I NEVER remember hearing of von Braun until well after the Apollo program had ended. His name just didn't come up very often because the focus was on the astronauts, the mission and the science. In addition, we were taught that absolutely no astronauts drank alcohol, smoked tobacco or participated in promiscuous activity. In other words, the message was always tightly controlled and von Braun was kept almost as invisible as Soviet Chief Designer Sergei Korolev.
I remember it differently. He was quite the media darling at times but he did not get the celebrity of the astronauts. He was the evil genius behind the scenes while the astronauts were hailed as All-American heroes. But quite honestly, the astronauts were nothing more than trained monkeys with a few exceptions.
I don't know, was he the designated production engineer, or was he head of the design team? Do you really think the design bureau was located in the tunnels? He visited the tunnels, he didn't have his office there. But, notice, that none of the virtue signalers have ever said what Von Braun was supposed to have done to prevent the atrocities or to help the victims. "Of course he saw them!" And, ....so?
Both Von Braun bio’s... cite that he had the idea to launch a manned - rocket with a capsule , land in the sea .. even before 1948. Octangenarian Library Aid commenting about on the ground talk around ... Roswell I cede the; “ We knew it had to be something from the White Sands Missile Base....”
We need to understand one thing! Engineers or scientists put their best efforts to fulfill tasks assigned by higher authorities. JUST because their creations were used for Evil purpose does not mean the man is evil

As a Space enthusiast, for years I have studied the role and the deeds of all most important enablers of the "Conquest" of Space. And my impression is, that Von Braun wasn't enthusiast of the German war machine, nor it was interested in politics and politicians. He defined the rocket core concept, that a turbopump is necessary to inject the fuel into the combustion chamber - at a pressure higher than the pressure of the engine exhaust, which allowed his rockets to lift tons of weight off the ground, instead of the few kilos achieved with rockets without turbopumps. The Saturn V lifted 100 tons in low Earth orbit, i.e. all the machinery, equipment and fuel necessary to go to the Moon and return safely to Earth...
I disagree. He was very enthusiastic to use his "toys" for Germany's cause in WWII. He could have easily bugged out for Switzerland or elsewhere during the war, but he didn't. HIs actions then speak volumes. WWII gave him a laboratory and guinea pigs. He reveled in it. What he did later was great, but let's not forget the human toil on which it was built.
For someone who was politically uninterested, he at least made it to SS Sturmbandführer. You had to volunteer for the SS. A Sturmbandführer is equivalent to a mayor in the US Army. And this promotion came through Himmler himself. He will definitely have tried hard. According to prisoners, he visited Nordhausen and Mittelbau Dora concentration camps at least 6 times.
No one knows exactly what von Braun was thinking. You can call someone a war criminal, but in that fascist regime any wrong word meant the death penalty. Of course there were forced labourers, but what could you have done? Someone who has worked in a fascist environment knows exactly what this means and how it feels.
The V2 was called the A4 by the engineers. A stands for aggregate which referred to the entire rocket with all its systems instead of the individual components. Only later did the government refer to it as vengeance.
Von Braun is probably one of the 5 or 6 most important people responsible for Apollo not the only person. 400,000 people worked on Apollo the vast majority were american.
... and young. The average age of those who worked on the Apollo program was incredibly young. NASA then got old and fat. Let's hope it emerges again with some youth and vitality. And I say this as someone who is pushing 60.
But Von Braun Was And Is The Biggest Pioneer In General, Cause He Was The Pulse Generator And His Rockets The First In Space, Also With High Speed. Everything Needs A Beginning - Starting Something New Is Always The Most Difficult Thing.
This is American white wash of a European Genius von Braun lead the whole project and was head of nasa he is one of most important people in history period he made his dream a reality
If i will bring 5 million homies to work on a similar project. And without the “mind”, will finish with a tractor rocket thingy bomb. So give credit accordingly.
Werner von Braun was a great scientist he was the head of nasa yet he would listen to others ideas and never felt he was better the other scientists infact the lunar medial wasn’t his idea but when it was brought to him by an American scientist he listened and used his idea and that is how we were able to put a man on the moon if he wasn’t a great leader for nasa we would have never put an astronaut on the moon great job by Werner vin Braun!
If Hitler had the same knowledge about rockets that Von Braun possessed, America would have welcomed him with open arms as well. America had one goal. Bring Von Braun to America before Russia takes him. It paid off. We reached the moon first with his Saturn rocket. It simply proves that no matter how much we scream about the inhumanities of the world, there's only one master. Greed. So sing your songs to save the polar bear. Hold your televised stadium concert to save the rain forest. Travel across the world to plant rice to save the world from starvation. In the end It's the golden rule. Those that have the gold, make the rules.
I have a relative who was a good friend of Verner von Braun, his last name is Winkler. exactly what my grandfather's mother's surname was also called. Winkler and Werner von Braun were really good friends and their teacher in rocketry was called Dr ohbars I hope the last name was correct. Winkler and Verner von Braun and their other relatives are also named Winkler and von Braun, although it was in the Luftwaffe where they flew henkel 111. for me, it's just history that happened a long time ago. it's only 0.2% of the people who argue about what happened 80 to 90 years ago, have a pathetic clean statement. life goes on i wonder when we land on pluto they are fun aren't they.
It can be considered correct, since we also say we collectively sent mankind to the moon. It's a sort of figurative manner of word choice, but you could argue that Neil and Buzz going to the moon did send part of NASA there. Edit: unless you mean the "Nazi" part, in which case you need to watch tbe video before asking lol
Scientists , Engineers and all professional persons should be taught ETHICS so they will be thinking of the wellbeing of humanity, animals and vegetation.
What a morally bankrupt and shallow conclusion drawn at the end of the video. 2+2=4, not sometimes 5, because "someone likes space". Unbelievable example of mental gymnastics. You asked a question - "How a nazi became an American Hero?", and answered it with "It's complicated and not black and white". I guess it is a matter of a perspective. For someone who uses an oil barrel as a toilet while slowly rotting in a mine, or concentration camp the issue becomes much less blurred. But if it gets us to the moon - then whatever. Let's call it "not black and white".
Love ❤️ your videos! I was 16 years old when Armstrong and Aldrin set foot on the Moon, an unforgettable experience. My father told me about Von Braun nazi relation during WW2, but not judging him. He admired Von Braun a lot and I did it too since. Saturn V was his creation and took humanity to the Moon nine times, including Apollos 8, 10 and 13 which didn’t land but did reach the Moon. He was a genius and is one of the most important human beings ever lived. He will never be forgotten.
Thanks to Russian help pre operation Barbarossa the father of rocketry was a Russian When Russians looked at V1 they laughed at how sadly engineered it was
1) It was very well known of Von Braun's past in WWII. Not sure why this vid even presents this as while he was alive we all knew about it. 2) Yeah, of course he went south to surrender to the U.S. as surrendering to the Soviet Union was borderline suicide. Not shrewd in anyway just sensible if one wanted to live. I am guessing the presenter has some narrative to push as the same type of circumstances carry on today in oppressive countries such as CHina where one serves on behalf of the families well being or to keep from endangering them. The obvious escapes this presenter .
Actually when von Braun was alive not many knew the extent of his past. It was only after his death that news came out. “As his long-time press person, Ed Buckbee, notes in Chasing the Moon, von Braun had received few such inquiries.” www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/chasing-moon-wernher-von-braun-and-nazis/
@@Newsthink I see where you got the "not widely known" source from and I understand that you are quoting the source. I think it's fair to be critical for accuracy though. I was very young when he was alive and I knew about his SS past then as well as many of my friends in grade school. Now to be fair I was a military brat and such topics were often spoken of as the time was when rockets were still being launched in to space and our family was soon stationed overseas in West Germany a year before his death. Maybe general public did not know but for my context in general many knew. One thing though, in your vid Von Braun was on what appeared to be the Dick Cavitt show admitting on national television that yes he was invited to the Nazi party yes? I'm unsure of how many viewers were tuned in during that time but would that not counter the claim that many did not know while he was alive? Regardless, video overall was good despite my issues with 2 items.
If we ever went to the moon there would be cameras filming the earth 24 hrs a day to sell footage to weather stations. It can't be done. India would've at least put some there when they allegedly went recently.
Real gracefully pointed this out pluse Russia has it own history like argentinia ( sorry for my bad spelling ) his it's own messed up history. What until you find out which USA company made money from WW2.
Actually, it's not hard to believe the V2 rockets he made for the Nazis would transfer to the Saturn V rocket that took humanity to the moon. Edit: We needed a powerful ticket to espace Earth's gravity "well".
Ich beobachtete den Mond 🌛zur Vollmondnacht mit Fuji Camera und stellte seitlich fest das der Planet kein fester Körper sondern ein Plasmaplanet ist und Mondlandung niemals stattfand und auf RUclips dem Suchbegriff: Chnopfloch- Great Reset erfuhr ich das selbe was ich mit Camera sah.
Very shallow analysis, unfortunately. It is very presumptuous to judge a person who lived in Germany that period, specially a gifted student with special talent to assemble a team to perform complex work enrolled in a much bigger organization under threat and at war.
Sebelum jatuh ke tangan Russia C.I.A sudah merencanakan penjemputan ribuan ilmuan jerman untuk di bawah ke amerika secara diam2 dan di tempatkan di camp yang terbilang mewah 😂😂😂
Im distantly related to him through my german ancestry sadly we as the united states we have a big stained history of picking up and using war criminals for our political gain
The Unites States allowed a foreigner lead their NASA efforts of the 1960's to send a man to the moon and to bring him back safely. The US did not allow two academic scientists of small countries of Europe near Denmark visiting the White House in 1942 or so, when the duo had proposed to President Roosevelt to be lead scientists and project managers and to lead the newly re inaugurated and highly funded nuclear weapons program of 1942. They had arrived in the White House in 1942 with blueprints of the Soviet nuclear weapons program.

Blaming and critizing the man who invented the V 2 rockets that killed 4000 and overlooking the American team who created the atomic bomb that erased 400 000 in Japan ( even when it was a few steps away from actual surrender ) .. Schizophrenia !!!

History is rich and complex. Thanks for expanding it just a little bit more. 👍🏿
now i understood those ''where were NASA scientists during WWII'' memes
I honestly do believe that von Braun was not a Nazi. He was an opportunist and not a ideologist, his goal was too engineer a rocket.
It would be very naive to think he wasn't complicit in such things as using forced labor. Maybe he didn't care, but not caring doesn't absolve you of war crimes.
Ain’t no way you didn’t question how the scar in his face meant. Only Nazi would no why they had those cuts lol

Although I was a top science student and the NASA liaison for my school, I NEVER remember hearing of von Braun until well after the Apollo program had ended. His name just didn't come up very often because the focus was on the astronauts, the mission and the science. In addition, we were taught that absolutely no astronauts drank alcohol, smoked tobacco or participated in promiscuous activity. In other words, the message was always tightly controlled and von Braun was kept almost as invisible as Soviet Chief Designer Sergei Korolev.
I remember it differently. He was quite the media darling at times but he did not get the celebrity of the astronauts. He was the evil genius behind the scenes while the astronauts were hailed as All-American heroes. But quite honestly, the astronauts were nothing more than trained monkeys with a few exceptions.
Of course von Braun saw the tunnels. The chief engineer would always be involved in production.
I don't know, was he the designated production engineer, or was he head of the design team? Do you really think the design bureau was located in the tunnels? He visited the tunnels, he didn't have his office there.
But, notice, that none of the virtue signalers have ever said what Von Braun was supposed to have done to prevent the atrocities or to help the victims.
"Of course he saw them!"
And, ....so?
Psalms 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
Von Braun was a friggen Genius!! He made things happen when it came to Rockets! Brilliant man and well respected!!!
Yeah, he was brilliant… he was still a nazi tho
Both Von Braun bio’s... cite that he had the idea to launch a manned - rocket with a capsule , land in the sea .. even before 1948.
Octangenarian Library Aid commenting about on the ground talk around ... Roswell I cede the;
“ We knew it had to be something from the White Sands Missile Base....”

Well respected? He was a member of the SS and invented one of the nazis most deadly rockets and is linked to the death of thousands.
I bet you are a musk fan.😂
We need to understand one thing! Engineers or scientists put their best efforts to fulfill tasks assigned by higher authorities. JUST because their creations were used for Evil purpose does not mean the man is evil
ah yes. and we cant blame those scientists for making faulty vaccines. it was all the DEAs fault :p.

Outer space is fiction, the firmament is real. He acknowledged it in his tombstone, PSalms 19:1
Don’t forget about his warning.
As a Space enthusiast, for years I have studied the role and the deeds of all most important enablers of the "Conquest" of Space.
And my impression is, that Von Braun wasn't enthusiast of the German war machine, nor it was interested in politics and politicians. He defined the rocket core concept, that a turbopump is necessary to inject the fuel into the combustion chamber - at a pressure higher than the pressure of the engine exhaust, which allowed his rockets to lift tons of weight off the ground, instead of the few kilos achieved with rockets without turbopumps. The Saturn V lifted 100 tons in low Earth orbit, i.e. all the machinery, equipment and fuel necessary to go to the Moon and return safely to Earth...
I disagree. He was very enthusiastic to use his "toys" for Germany's cause in WWII. He could have easily bugged out for Switzerland or elsewhere during the war, but he didn't. HIs actions then speak volumes. WWII gave him a laboratory and guinea pigs. He reveled in it. What he did later was great, but let's not forget the human toil on which it was built.
@@JC-xq3jl He was also well aware of the slave labor used to build the Nazi war machine.
As a space enthusiast how far do you think man will get in it?
@@JC-xq3jl lol
For someone who was politically uninterested, he at least made it to SS Sturmbandführer. You had to volunteer for the SS. A Sturmbandführer is equivalent to a mayor in the US Army. And this promotion came through Himmler himself. He will definitely have tried hard. According to prisoners, he visited Nordhausen and Mittelbau Dora concentration camps at least 6 times.
No one knows exactly what von Braun was thinking.
You can call someone a war criminal, but in that fascist regime any wrong word meant the death penalty.
Of course there were forced labourers, but what could you have done?
Someone who has worked in a fascist environment knows exactly what this means and how it feels.
Really well presented and researched! Could you please do a video about how parts of the internet are getting deleted by search engine companies?
Really!?
That explains why google search results have not been so great since the big C hit
But why? Whats their goal from doing this?
The V2 was called the A4 by the engineers. A stands for aggregate which referred to the entire rocket with all its systems instead of the individual components. Only later did the government refer to it as vengeance.
I love your perspective in this video it’s fair thanks 🙏 for the info this changes the way I look at life
You should have mentioned that in his book "The Mars Project", he said that an elected official on Mars would be called the "Elon"
Is that really true
@@blakjewellio1407 Yes it's really quite fascinating because it could be true for a future Mars colony.
Grew up in the Huntsville, AL area where von Braun worked at NASA...this has been very informative.
Really, really, wonderful and fair perspective on Von Braun. Thank you!
Maria from the Haunebu
so well done
Interesting. I don't disagree with pretty much all of it. Curious
Von Braun is probably one of the 5 or 6 most important people responsible for Apollo not the only person. 400,000 people worked on Apollo the vast majority were american.
... and young. The average age of those who worked on the Apollo program was incredibly young. NASA then got old and fat. Let's hope it emerges again with some youth and vitality. And I say this as someone who is pushing 60.
But Von Braun Was And Is The Biggest Pioneer In General, Cause He Was The Pulse Generator And His Rockets The First In Space, Also With High Speed. Everything Needs A Beginning - Starting Something New Is Always The Most Difficult Thing.
This is American white wash of a European
Genius von Braun lead the whole project and was head of nasa he is one of most important people in history period he made his dream a reality
He was the chief architect
If i will bring 5 million homies to work on a similar project. And without the “mind”, will finish with a tractor rocket thingy bomb. So give credit accordingly.
I love all your videos, thank you, I'm kids thinks I'm nerdier than ever.
Oddly and tragically more people died making the V2 weapon than were killed from its use
Ironic
Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs!
What a great man. American people never thought of this. But it's funny how many people worked on the rockets from Germany.
The developers of the V2, Wasserfal, Redstone, Jupiter and Saturn weren't scientists. They were engineers.
"I aim for the stars but sometimes I hit London!" ~ Wernher von Braun
And he was inspired by Yugoslavian scientist
Continue this into the Haunebu. This is public knowledge now. 1952 D.C. flyover.
Werner von Braun was a great scientist he was the head of nasa yet he would listen to others ideas and never felt he was better the other scientists infact the lunar medial wasn’t his idea but when it was brought to him by an American scientist he listened and used his idea and that is how we were able to put a man on the moon if he wasn’t a great leader for nasa we would have never put an astronaut on the moon great job by Werner vin Braun!
Amazing videos!
Yeh We all know that Werner was a German genius scientist during WW2 but without him the USA wouldn’t have got to the moon
Also a mass murderer👎
Von Braun hid his rocket design papers in a mine
Niel Armstrong the 1st man landed on moon. But those scientist are the greatest of all.
If Hitler had the same knowledge about rockets that Von Braun possessed, America would have welcomed him with open arms as well. America had one goal. Bring Von Braun to America before Russia takes him. It paid off. We reached the moon first with his Saturn rocket. It simply proves that no matter how much we scream about the inhumanities of the world, there's only one master. Greed. So sing your songs to save the polar bear. Hold your televised stadium concert to save the rain forest. Travel across the world to plant rice to save the world from starvation. In the end It's the golden rule. Those that have the gold, make the rules.
I have a relative who was a good friend of Verner von Braun, his last name is Winkler. exactly what my grandfather's mother's surname was also called. Winkler and Werner von Braun were really good friends and their teacher in rocketry was called Dr ohbars I hope the last name was correct. Winkler and Verner von Braun and their other relatives are also named Winkler and von Braun, although it was in the Luftwaffe where they flew henkel 111. for me, it's just history that happened a long time ago. it's only 0.2% of the people who argue about what happened 80 to 90 years ago, have a pathetic clean statement. life goes on i wonder when we land on pluto they are fun aren't they.
So.. should we forget all about N.zis and just repeat the same mistake over and over?
All those brains, but still married his cousin.
What?
Was normal back then.

This is inspiring
As a mass murder🖕
Is the title of this video right ?
It can be considered correct, since we also say we collectively sent mankind to the moon. It's a sort of figurative manner of word choice, but you could argue that Neil and Buzz going to the moon did send part of NASA there.
Edit: unless you mean the "Nazi" part, in which case you need to watch tbe video before asking lol
@@theelephantintheroom69 I was right. They changed the title.
"He aimed for the stars, but sometimes hit London."
Hi Cindy 👋
He was a good man.
Robert Goddard: *crying in the corner*
Robert Goddard was a liar who plagiarized his work. What you get for liars you're an idiot not an expert
Scientists , Engineers and all professional persons should be taught ETHICS so they will be thinking of the wellbeing of humanity, animals and vegetation.
Soviet Union did something as U.S. They (both) wanted the technology. Didn't care about past.
What a morally bankrupt and shallow conclusion drawn at the end of the video. 2+2=4, not sometimes 5, because "someone likes space". Unbelievable example of mental gymnastics. You asked a question - "How a nazi became an American Hero?", and answered it with "It's complicated and not black and white". I guess it is a matter of a perspective. For someone who uses an oil barrel as a toilet while slowly rotting in a mine, or concentration camp the issue becomes much less blurred. But if it gets us to the moon - then whatever. Let's call it "not black and white".
Exactly man, these comments are sickening, its amazing the amount of excuses people have to justify admiring a man like this
American pragmatism is a moral cancer. optics are more important than principle.
The problem is making him a hero, not letting him work on the rockets
If you didn't have a controversial past, I feel bad for you.
But there is a difference between being a literal nazi and having e.g. skipped school a few times
I would hope that he saw his work as a type of atonement for what happened something to move humanity forward rather than hold it back

This is very nice community. ❤❤
Love ❤️ your videos! I was 16 years old when Armstrong and Aldrin set foot on the Moon, an unforgettable experience. My father told me about Von Braun nazi relation during WW2, but not judging him. He admired Von Braun a lot and I did it too since. Saturn V was his creation and took humanity to the Moon nine times, including Apollos 8, 10 and 13 which didn’t land but did reach the Moon. He was a genius and is one of the most important human beings ever lived. He will never be forgotten.
Thanks to Russian help pre operation Barbarossa the father of rocketry was a Russian
When Russians looked at V1 they laughed at how sadly engineered it was
Sure that's why the russians never had something better in the war.
@@kerim.s8801 So what? Von Braun and his nation didn't win it ;)
1) It was very well known of Von Braun's past in WWII. Not sure why this vid even presents this as while he was alive we all knew about it.
2) Yeah, of course he went south to surrender to the U.S. as surrendering to the Soviet Union was borderline suicide. Not shrewd in anyway just sensible if one wanted to live.
I am guessing the presenter has some narrative to push as the same type of circumstances carry on today in oppressive countries such as CHina where one serves on behalf of the families well being or to keep from endangering them. The obvious escapes this presenter .
Actually when von Braun was alive not many knew the extent of his past. It was only after his death that news came out.
“As his long-time press person, Ed Buckbee, notes in Chasing the Moon, von Braun had received few such inquiries.” www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/chasing-moon-wernher-von-braun-and-nazis/
@@Newsthink I see where you got the "not widely known" source from and I understand that you are quoting the source.
I think it's fair to be critical for accuracy though. I was very young when he was alive and I knew about his SS past then as well as many of my friends in grade school. Now to be fair I was a military brat and such topics were often spoken of as the time was when rockets were still being launched in to space and our family was soon stationed overseas in West Germany a year before his death.
Maybe general public did not know but for my context in general many knew.
One thing though, in your vid Von Braun was on what appeared to be the Dick Cavitt show admitting on national television that yes he was invited to the Nazi party yes? I'm unsure of how many viewers were tuned in during that time but would that not counter the claim that many did not know while he was alive?
Regardless, video overall was good despite my issues with 2 items.
@@NewsthinkIt's called propaganda,and lying.

If we ever went to the moon there would be cameras filming the earth 24 hrs a day to sell footage to weather stations. It can't be done. India would've at least put some there when they allegedly went recently.

Actually, it's not hard to believe the V2 rockets he made for the Nazis would transfer to the Saturn V rocket that took humanity to the moon.

Very shallow analysis, unfortunately. It is very presumptuous to judge a person who lived in Germany that period, specially a gifted student with special talent to assemble a team to perform complex work enrolled in a much bigger organization under threat and at war.
His life is very interesting to say the least. He was very intelligent. He's also my cousin.

Scientist will fly any flag, 🇷🇺🇺🇸🇩🇪if you’ll pay for the research. This man was no different.
The Unites States allowed a foreigner lead their NASA efforts of the 1960's to send a man to the moon and to bring him back safely. The US did not allow two academic scientists of small countries of Europe near Denmark visiting the White House in 1942 or so, when the duo had proposed to President Roosevelt to be lead scientists and project managers and to lead the newly re inaugurated and highly funded nuclear weapons program of 1942. They had arrived in the White House in 1942 with blueprints of the Soviet nuclear weapons program.
