cool story, thanks.
Back in the early 1950’s when I was about 7 years old, my dad took me to his engineering lab one evening. There was a ‘rocket’ resting horizontally on two pipe stands.
It looked about 12 feet long and 6 or 8 inches in diameter. It had a big goldfish bowl lens on the nose. Dad lit a cigarette then told me to go the back of the missle and watch the tail fins. As he waved his cigarette, the fins followed his motion!
Honest! I never told the Russians anything!

If they’d just gotten the Ruskies to make a donation to the DNC they could have gotten the technology much easier.
