“Well do you have any evidence that he ever apologized? Just because he wanted to surrender to capitalists instead of communists doesn’t mean he renounced anything.”

What do you think von Braun owed an apology for?

My father got the privilege of meeting and working with Von Braun in Huntsville back in the 1960s. He said he was probably the smartest man he ever met. Of course my dad, (the erstwhile comedian) would always give me and my brother the following line when we complained that he was too strict - “You ought to be thankful you are not one of Von Braun’s kids. I bet he's got them goose-stepping.”

His attempt at black humor was lost on me and my brother.

I didn’t say he had anything to apologize for. I was responding to a poster who disputed that he was “nonapologetic”.
