Watched the livestream of the SpaceX landing today and all I saw was workers--hundreds an hundreds them, pulling off an incredibly difficult thing by working together.
Watched the news coverage and all I saw was a dipshit failson of some apartheid emerald miner--and a bunch of tech bros making the soy face in the comments.
Shit sucks.
I didn't know that about the Apollo program
Does this mean we only succeeded technologically due to a bunch of scientists america didn't even educate? Or at least to enough of a degree that one of our biggest achievements (citation needed) can be attributed to post war immigration?
Check out Operation Paperclip. Basically, the Nazis had the first rockets and both the USSR and the US scrambled to import as much of that technology through human resources (and some blueprints too, probably) into their respective states after the war. At least that's how I learned it, not a history buff, please don't call me a Wehraboo
