Any1 know how he wrote in a book that a man named Elon would come and take us to Mars?

Von Braun was a scientific genius. You are delusional if you do not think he was fully aware of what was going on in those V2 factories. He wasn't a vowed Nazi, he wasn't SS officer. They have written reports where he is criticizing efficiency, and decrying the lack of production. The remedy was incentivation through execution. I mean you people are delusional. I'm a realist. He made great contributions to science. We would not have gotten to the moon without him. You people talking about your grandfather having a malt with him in Alabama or whatever are f****** delusional. It was operation paper clip. These people were war criminals. It was either the Soviets get them or we get them. If you think he was a moral and just human being I pray for you.

“‘Once the rockets go up who cares where they go down? That’s not my department!’ Says Wernher Von Braun.”

This is a tremendous and an excellent way of teaching and informing. I was 16 years old when "The Eagle Landed" On the moon. I was present, in the crowd when New York Cities Mayor John Lindsey presented the Keys to New York City to the Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin & Michael Collins shortly after they returned to earth from the moon.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Psalm 19:1
The instance of רקיע in Genesis 1:6-7 is not very descriptive (saying only that the רקיע divides the waters with some waters above it and some below) and so it is somewhat ambiguous. The usage of the term outside P, as well as related descriptions of the heavens, convey a sense of solidity. (1) Job 37:18 describes the skies (לשחקים) as spread out (תרקיע) hard (חזקים) like a bronze mirror. (2) Ezekiel 1:22 describes the vault (הרקיע) as stretched out (נָט֥וּי) and shining like ice (הקרח); it supports the heavenly throne. (3) 4Q403 says that the vault of the heights (רקיע רוש מרומים) has beams (קורותו) and walls and structure (מבניתו), and 4Q405 mentions "the splendor of the shining vault (רקיע) beneath the seat of his glory". Compare Psalm 104:2-3 which says that God "stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters" and Ezekiel 1:26, 10:1 describing a throne of lapis lazuli above the vault. (4) 4Q418 mentions the "foundation (מוסדי) of the vault." (5) 11Q17 similarly refers to the "four foundations (מארבעת מוסדי) of the vault". (6) 1 Enoch 18:2, 5 says that "I saw the four winds bearing (βασταζοντας) the earth and the firmament of heaven (το στερεωμα του ουρανου)....I saw at the ends of the earth the support (στηριγμα) of heaven".

@Dr_Mario2007 Says:
Wernher Von Bauhn was a mad legend especially among his rocket scientist horde that he's the most respected scientist ever lived. Of course US Military paid him very well for his experience and the understanding of how it all worked. Naturally it's expensive to hire an experienced scientist that commands a lot of money (F1 rocket engines if you are wondering).
@paulcass6471 Says:
Guy was truly a Nazi MacGyver... He was able to put men on the moon, destroy thousands of innocent lives in England, all while under the antichrist himself in Adolf... And he did all of this with a paperclip 🖇️📎🖇️📎🖇️😳

El viaje a La Luna fue una proeza; un logro hasta hoy sin comparación por parte de los EE.UU, y del mundo. 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.

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) ...

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.

Like Alfred Nobel’s invention of dynamite, both technologies have the potential for good or evil.

Wernher von Braun; He aimed for the stars, he just kept hitting London.

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.

Shocking lies. Don't give them your details. (IMO.)

@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.

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.

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.
