As long as they aim to DC, San Fran or Detroit.

Well at least when they ran NASA - they got things done.

Today, NASA is a propaganda arm for Islam.

Is it wrong that a certain part of me read this article and wondered if it was too late to try this experiment?

Old news.

"I Aim at the Stars" produced in 1960 was the story of Werhner von Braun. He was a scientist and apolitical by nature. When asked about his rocket innovations He said that much of knowledge came from having read the books of Robert Goddard the American Rocket Scientist of the 1930s who was virtually ignored by the US.

One of my clients was a gunner in Germany in WW II. He explained that they had a hard time shooting down the stovepipes, the term he said they used for the German jet aircraft. At the end of the war, he stayed on to round up people and documentation for the trials and had a lot of freedom in where he could go. He told me that the Germans had train after train , loaded with jet aircraft ready to use, but they had no pilots. He said that they one of his assignments was to drop explosives into the cockpits of every plane to destroy all the instrumentation.(except for the few souvenirs he showed me that were pulled prior to destruction). I had no idea they were that advanced

Interesting article. I had an interest in the advanced German aircraft and technology.

The article didn’t mention the first operational helicopters. Some people claim they were not real helicopters but in fact they were.

As I recall, this plane was not going to be coming down from orbit. It would have been suborbital, and “skipped” off the atmosphere across the atlantic, towards the US.
