NASA Nazis- An example of Western Hypocrisy
NASA’s connection to Nazis stems primarily from Operation Paperclip, a secret U.S. government program that recruited German scientists, including those who had worked for the Nazi regime during World War II. This program played a crucial role in shaping the early space and missile development of the United States, which would eventually lead to the establishment of NASA. 1. Operation Paperclip…

80 years ago... V1 & V2 spotted at Peenemünde RAF Flight Officer / aerial photographic interpreter Constance Babbington Smith During World War II Constance Babington gave up her journalism career and worked in the RAF Women's Auxiliary Air Force as aerial photographic interpreter at the Top Secret No. 1 Photographic Reconnaissance Unit. In the summer of 1943, Flight Officer Babington was credited by spotting the first V1 flying bombs being tested at Peenemunde in Northern Germany at the Baltic Sea. Soon photo interpreters knew what to look for and spotted V2 rockets (since June 1943) and V1 "doodlebug" ramps in Northern France. Post-war, Constance Babington was attached at USAAF Intelligence in Washington D.C. and was portrayed in the 1965 movie "Operation Crossbow". (Photo: RAF/IWM)

1943 08 17 Target Peenemunde - Robert Taylor
North of Berlin on the Baltic coast at Peenemunde lay the secret experimental base for one of Hitler’s most dangerous secret weapons – the V-2 rocket. On the night of 17 August 1943, in one of the most successful raids of the war, Bomber Command flattened it.Robert Taylor’s evocative painting, originally commissioned to commemorate the operation, portrays Lancasters of No. 83 Squadron Pathfinder Force as they climb out over the east coast of England en-route for Peenemunde on that warm summer evening. Brilliantly executed in his unrivaled style, Robert has lit the sky with the bright golden rays of the setting sun, tantalizingly reflected in the peaceful calm waters of the North Sea.The “Master Bomber’s aircraft, seen here in the forefront of the painting, made nine dangerous passes over the target, directing operations. During the next 55 minutes Hitler’s secret weapon establishment was almost totally destroyed by the bomber crews that followed his directions.

Замерзшие молнии - военный Германия (ГДР) 1967 Альфред Мюллер, Леон Немчик, Марианна Беренс
5 ноября 1939 антифашистский ученый доктор Куммеров передаёт в Британское консульство норвежской столицы доклад. В котором говорится, что в нацистской Германии тайный ракетный научно-исследовательский центр в Пенемюнде используется для создания ракетного оружия дальнего действия... Англичане ставят под сомнение подлинность анонимного сообщения. Но, когда первые ракеты успешно запускаются, союзники понимают создавшуюся опасность. В Лондоне решаются на воздушный налет. Формируется спецгруппа из французов, англичан, поляков и немцев. Также в самом Пенемюнде растет подпольное сопротивление военнопленных, среди них советский летчик Алексей... При запуске германских ракет "Фау-1" и "Фау-2" жители близлежащих селений слышали «гром», а потом в небе видели застывшие инверсионные следы. Они прозвали их «Замерзшие молнии». Этот увлекательный фильм с подлинными именами и записями рассказывает о разных возможных точках зрении на войну и действиях доктора Грунвальда, Вальтера Дорнбергера (ракетный барон) и о Вернере фон Брауне. По мотивам книги Юлиуса Мадера "Тайна Хантсвилла"

Berlin Week 6: Peenemunde, Final Presentations, and Barbecue
By Ilyana Smith, Aerospace Engineering major
Peenemunde
This week we visited the museum at Peenemunde, where weapons were developed for the German army during World War II. Arguably the most influential of these was the V2, which was the first rocket to reach space. One of the biggest takeaways from our tour of the museum was the idea of using your skills for good and being aware of who you're working for and benefiting with the work you're doing. Wernher Von Braun is well-known in the aerospace community for helping build many of the early rockets, including the Saturn V rocket which carried the first men to the moon - and including the V2. Von Braun always claimed that he built the rockets only for the advancement of science; however, there is always a moral component to whatever is being built, and that's something Von Braun forgot or ignored in building weapons for Hitler, and it's something that engineers should always remember, because what we build has a big influence on the world.

Final Presentations
On Friday, we gave presentations on our final lab projects. We first gave a slide show presentation, and then we defended posters showing our findings in more detail. It was very interesting to get to see what other groups have been doing for the past six weeks, and it was also really cool to share what we've been doing with the rest of the group. Our project ended up being really neat, and I was excited to get to explore the implications of creating a composite with hemp fiber and PBS plastic, and it was cool to see how adding the fiber to the plastic affected its properties.

Barbecue
Finally, we ended the presentation with a final barbecue. We all worked together to prepare the burgers, macaroni and cheese, and garlic bread, and the final result was a wonderful evening of good food, games, chatting, and dancing as a phenomenal bookend to the program. I met a lot of great people here, and I'm really glad I decided to participate in this program, and I would definitely recommend it.
Thanks for reading!
This is the Engineering Laboratory Experience at TUB in Berlin, Germany

#12 PEENEMÜNDE Some years ago I spent an excellent road trip going around northern Germany visiting huge abandoned Nazi structures: the rocket works at Peenemünde and the holiday resort at Prora (which you can see in the postcard behind it – a small section has been turned into a youth hostel, tho’ the overall structure is IMMENSE.) You can read more about the travels (and a third ruin-exploring adventure, the postwar Teufelsberg in Berlin) here: https://brosencrantz.wordpress.com/tag/adventures-among-nazi-remains/ #enamelpin #pinstagram #pins #peenemunde #prora #rugen https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFcBmHBp0y/?igshid=10iga5kg09p1m

A HISTORY OF ROCKETRY by John Halchak, RS-68, Space Launch System (SLS), V-2, Peenemunde, Robert Goddard Jun 20, 2020 from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM (PT) RSVP and Information: https://conta.cc/3f38EK1 Volunteers are needed for all AIAA activities, please contact [email protected] e-Town Hall Meeting June 20, 2020, 1 PM - 3:30 PM (Add to Calendar) 11:30 AM - 12:45 PM Building Resilience: How to navigate stress and crisis of COVID-19 by Christi Garner LMFT , Trauma Therapist and Educator www.traumaeducator.com 1 PM - 3:30 PM A HISTORY OF ROCKETRY by John Halchak, Senior Fellow Engineering department of Rocketdyne (now named Aerojet Rocketdyne) RSVP and Information: https://conta.cc/3f38EK1 Upcoming events on aiaa-lalv.org/events Event Calendar Join Mailing List https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/FnG0zoy Join AIAA Membership https://aiaa.org/membership ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A HISTORY OF ROCKETRY “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it” is the famous quotation of the philosopher George Santayana. For the engineer, knowing the mistakes of the past, including why they occurred, is a necessity to avoid repeating them. However, it also is important to know and understand past successes so that they may be stepping stones for future advances. Studying history also gives us a perspective of the present, helping us to understand why things are the way they are today and can point towards a path for change. This talk will be a broad overview of the history of rocketry, with some emphasis on the importance of materials in the development of the technology. The American rocket pioneer, Dr. Robert H. Goddard, used some surprisingly advanced materials concepts for his rockets, combining metals and ceramics to achieve performance goals. Unfortunately, Goddard’s paranoia combined with his inability to work with others, destroyed his legacy. In their V-2 ballistic missile of World War II, the Germans used a variety of materials, with wartime shortages necessitating some creative materials selections. The V-2, although ineffective as a weapon, had profound long-term consequences, as it jump started ballistic missiles and space exploration. The first American and Soviet rockets were essentially improvements on the German designs that also incorporated higher strength materials to reduce overall weight and increase performance. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Halchak John Halchak is a retired Senior Fellow in the Engineering department of Rocketdyne (now named Aerojet Rocketdyne), located in Canoga Park, California. For 13 years, he was the director of the Rocketdyne materials engineering department. With over 51 years of experience in rocket engine materials and processes, he has worked on virtually every major program for that company, including such programs as the Atlas, Gemini, Saturn V- Apollo, Minuteman, Delta, Peacekeeper, Space Shuttle Main Engine, Waterjets, Aerospike, Space Station, NASP, RS-68, X-33, MB-60, and J-2X programs. In the course of his work, he has been a witness to, and a participant in, many of the historical events in the space program. He has had opportunities to accumulate information from many of the pioneers in rocket development, including some of the original German Peenemunde engineers. John has given presentations on the history of rocketry at professional societies, conferences, and universities throughout the United States. He is a graduate of Penn State's metallurgical engineering department, a registered professional engineer, a member of the Air Force Association, a Fellow of the ASM, and a recipient of the Apollo Achievement Award, the NASA Astronauts’ Personal Achievement Award, the Penn State David Ford McFarland Distinguished Alumni Award, a NASA Group Achievement Award (1995), the San Fernando Valley Engineers’ Council 2006 Distinguished Engineering Achievement Award, and the Rotary National Stellar Award for Achievement in Space Flight. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Building Resilience: How to navigate stress and crisis of COVID-19 Navigating stress and crisis are no longer topics only for first responders and front liners. We have all been impacted this year by pandemics, chaos, and uncertainty. In this presentation we will learn tools for building resilience in times of stress, mindful hacks to feel better today, stress busting techniques to use daily at home or at work to increase your ability to focus and recover from crisis and even tips on how to get better sleep. Practical tools and a place to ask questions while you learn about your body’s innate ability to heal, even in times like these. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christi Garner LMFT Christi Garner LMFT is a Trauma Therapist and Educator working closely with first responders and organizations in crisis response for 20 years. Christi provides you the skills that regulate the nervous system to help you restore balance in the face of stress and crisis. Tools to support you as well as to navigate the stress of crisis, to build resilience, to de-escalate, de-stress and recover so you can respond better in the moment and for the long haul.
