    Pretty much all of the first generation of JPL and later NASA was built on using Nazis to develop aerospace technology to kill the Korean and Vietnamese fight the spread of communism. This is not surprising in the slightest. Doesn’t help that the astronauts themselves almost always were war criminals.

      Don’t do the US dirty like that. Jack Parsons was a homegrown fascist.

        Jack Parsons is exactly who I was thinking of! I meant both literal NSDAP members and the esoteric fascists like Parsons, the ideological fathers of the JPL.

        In 1945, Parsons separated from Helen, after having an affair with her sister Sara; when Sara left him for L. Ron Hubbard,

      I only know his name because there was a game named after him in 1993. Nobody ever knows the second guy.

          I never heard about Aldrin in Poland outside of specific topic of first Moon landing, even articles about space race rarily mention him. And that game was the first time (and one of not many) i heard about him and the only reason i remembered him since it was a good game.

    God damn it, why you doing this? Just enjoy your last years of life and remember that the Trump followers are the ones more likely to say that you faked going to the moon and are a deepstate plant.

        It was a bit, and I know for a fact mankind has been to the moon. I’ve been there myself on multiple occasions. I spread crystals of my frozen piss on the US flag.

              It’s pretty old. Earliest reference I can find is a 12-year-old reddit thread on r/WTF. Apparently he was one of many people holding a flag and shaking it to make it look like it’s waving, but the zoom makes it look… different.
