    It’s funny but I do wonder why history got rewritten to make people think that the 3rs Reich did much for space travel.

    10k people dead in production, 15k people enslaved, more than 80 USD billion spent, 9 years of production. And the only thing they showed for it was going from a single stage to a two stages. Something some civilian university professors were already messing with. Meanwhile the bulk of “their” ideas were from elsewhere. Using fuel lines to cool, gyroscopes to stabilize, gravity priming…they took all that stuff from spies.
