Gran parte del mérito se lo debemos al Dr. Werner Von Braun📎, quién alcanzó otros logros fantásticos e inimaginables menos conocidos o desconocidos. La Carrera Espacial tripulada hará que tengamos continuidad. 🚀🎖. En La Luna se pueden realizar proyectos sin interferir en la vida en La Tierra; como lanzar cabezas nucleares a un agente externo amenazante.>> <<@danielmolinar8669 says : Wehraboo sensationalism. No mention of Goddard? Pathetic>> <<@espidey8374 says : Nah, great man of history arguments denigrate human accomplishments. What we achieve as a species is seldom due to one individual. Achievements may be delayed, but they would still happen.>> <<@dimitridoes7936 says : Just mentioning: Dora MIttelbau, the production facility for V-rockets with forced labour worked to death. He knew about it, and the Americans knew that ... just closing their eyes in view of Cold War space race (Operation Paperclip) ...>> <<@T8RTOTS says : Excellent Nicely Done!>> <<@CarlosAlbertoDesselopes says : Vom Braun inteligente 🇩🇪🚀>> <<@BigBazz-Clips says : How to commit war crimes and get away with, thanks america>> <<@ygsproductions2432 says : Not German nazi>> <<@ygsproductions2432 says : Hardly anyone knows his name cause not much digging he is a nazi that hung the 5 slowest Jews in his rocket factory>> <<@CashMullen-ng4sr says : Of course this propaganda video fails to mention that WVB was a NAZI War Criminal who should have been tried at Nuremburg for his role in the deaths of 20,000 slave labor prisoners at the V-2 factory under Mittelwerk.>> <<@rkymtnrsx says : Like Alfred Nobel’s invention of dynamite, both technologies have the potential for good or evil.>> <<@Philipwaltho says : Well we have to realized that the Apollo programme was bought in to challenge Russia at the time sceintest did not want it was done only to prove America strength>> <<@Philipwaltho says : He could sell you an empty beer can>> <<@Grace_and_Truth78 says : Wernher's mum is really his dad.... look at that thing!>> <<@sciencefaction2646 says : Wernher von Braun; He aimed for the stars, he just kept hitting London.>> <<@jamesavery3559 says : himmler did toss him into a prison cell and was going to have him shot>> <<@callmebigpapa says : Studies by the Khan Academy show what happened for Wernher happens for other kids those who struggle early can go one to be the best.>> <<@MarkAMMarrk says : Anyone who focuses on Von Braun's Nazi affiliation is just plain ignorant. Oskar Schindler was a member of the Nazi party and had Nazi cohorts, colleagues and affiliates, as did anyone who wanted to succeed in that atmosphere. It doesn't make them complicit.>> <<@joeschmoe21 says : Von Braun was a Nazi, who utilized slave labor to make V2 bombs.>> <<@xmaseveeve5259 says : Shocking lies. Don't give them your details. (IMO.)>> <<@xmaseveeve5259 says : Shill.>> <<@TheTreegodfather says : He gets a bad rap.>> <<@catallaxy says : It has to be noted that judicial standards of a relatively free society do not apply to a totalitarian regime like Nazi Germany. No one could pursue any ambition without party membership. All children were required to be members of the Hitler Youth, a Nazi indoctrination organization. This condition was also present in all communist countries and is certainly present in Red China today. Therefore, it is off-side to judge the intentions of an individual like Werner von Braun, who was under the duress of compliance to a rule of command (as opposed to rule of law) society headed by a brutal dictator.>> <<@joeharris3878 says : Vee vill trahvull to da moo-an.>> <<@the215sean says : No surprise Disney was a huge fan 🤦>> <<@smarajitpunaykanti6463 says : Nobel committee never respected Engineers>> <<@stuartforbes6954 says : Slight mistake in the comments on Apollo 8 here, it didn't do a single orbit of the moon it spend almost a day around the moon, doing ten orbits in total.>> <<@kenandbarbie-b6c says : We beat the USSR to the moon because our Nazi scientists were better than their Nazi scientists.>> <<@rh661 says : Still begging for a deep dive into "operation Paperclip">> <<@TheDennys21 says : Wernher von Braun was a horrible human being, some of the worst scum that ever lived but he got a free pass in America because he knew a thing or two about rockets.>> <<@Hot_Cold_Blue says : V1 and V2 production resulted in death and evil that taints any subsequent positive work of Braun.>> <<@kevinbford20 says : I just got a large type 1 photo of Von Braun and Walt Disney. Huge Disney history guy and didn’t know who the “other guy” was. Now I know and I am so much more excited about the pic I came across. Fascinating to learn about and he and Walt shared much in common as men/people. Love the complexity of this man’s story - from Nazi rocket scientist to American hero - building weapons of mass destruction to outspoken Christian and civil rights activist. Really interesting man and so happy to know about this all. Great video too!>> <<@minewheaties5029 says : Fact=von Braun was also a prominent V2 rocket scientist for Nazi Germany. People didn't use their heads and made a false idol out of him.>> <<@vonries says : There was never a need to put him down for any of his actions. He was in that career path before Hitler came to power. If he had refused to work for Hitler he would have been killed. He was too great of a mind to lose like that.>> <<@llobinske says : He didn't have a choice about belonging to the Nazi party. You disappoint me, Simon.>> <<@GeneralCurtisELeMay-wh5gh says : German-American Genius>> <<@jpeterson303 says : ✨ The God of Space Exploration ✨>> <<@lebergerdesphotons4565 says : youtube/google are about the worst whores on the planet who don't directly sell pharm products. I guess it could easily be argued that in fact they do directly sell pharm products.>> <<@briandoss9232 says : Eh tough call...>> <<@universumaeternalisfirmus says : The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork psalms 19:1>> <<@Veptis says : Them building LC39-A and B as large as they did back then is useful now. By many accounts, we are only now returning to plans they had half a century ago.>> <<@yomomma618 says : Speak faster... it will be easier to understand. Instant downvote.>> <<@dax5791 says : "Wernher realized he sucked at math. So he decided to master math and physics." Yeah, that's a German dude all right.>> <<@karlk.579 says : ,,The good man say‘s ,Sorry‘ for the mistakes, that he made in the past. The better man corrects them!!‘‘ — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe>> <<@Raubabbau says : Simon fails when it comes to Wernher von Braun, but I also find the comments that somehow put it into perspective or try to excuse it as frightening as it is sad. Wernher von Braun was SS Sturmbandfuhrer. That corresponds to a colonel and was not an inconspicuous rank, it had to be worked out and you needed the right support in the SS. It is also a misconception that you had the choice between cooperation and execution. Like many, von Braun could have gone into exile or ceased his activities. But he was a ruthless opportunist. He served the regime. He knew about the processes in Mittelbau Dora and even got actively involved in the organisation. There are reports of inmates seeing him there giving orders. He was also in the Buchenwald concentration camp to select workers. 15,000 people died in Mittelbau Dora and 56,000 people in Buchenwald concentration camp. Von Braun never apologized. In America he is a hero, a country full of people who blindly admire him and justify his crimes, belittle them or simply deny them, a bitter pill for the liberators what their descendants think. Even more bitter for the prisoners and the dead, of course. Funny that we Germans think little of him, places named after him would be renamed and although we know exactly who the Americans owe the rocket technology to, we have to bitterly admit how it was paid for.>> <<@freefallin6871 says : As a German scientists in Nazi Germany, he and his colleagues lives likely depended on a fair amount of pragmatism. Life is seldom black and white, with the shades of grey that people live in usually being subject to interpretation.>> <<@lorawaye says : Being from Huntsville, Alabama, von Braun is treated as a local hero in many ways. When you ask a local what Huntsville is known for, the typical response is von Braun’s work on the Saturn V>> <<@welles28 says : The very definition of "moral ambiguity".>>
