Die Wissenschaft hat keine moralische Dimension. Sie ist wie ein Messer. Wenn man es einem Chirurgen und einem Mörder gibt, gebraucht es jeder auf seine Weise.

Science has no moral dimension. It is like a knife. If you give it to a surgeon and a killer, each of them uses it in their own way.

Wernher von Braun (1912 – 1977), German-American inventor, rocket engineer, pioneer and visionary of space flight

Thinking about Sergei and von Braun not exactly bonding over their shared experience of deserting a country America isn’t fond of in order to work in the space industry without murderous overlords breathing down their back, but dancing around it over after work drinks. Because Margo's sick of the tension between them and she's getting it resolved tonight.

5 drinks in and they're both relaxed and chatty and happy with Sergei loudly making many dramatic gesticulations. von Braun's more reserved, but he's just as passionate. And more charming. They swear undying friendship to each other and make a pact. Margo's half delighted that her mentor and the love of her life are finally getting on, and half consumed with murderous rage that they want to keep drinking and laughing instead of talking about work. It's the perfect time for work to be done now that the three of them are in accord, but apparently now isn't the time or the place.

Wernher von Braun previu que Elon Musk iria liderar a colonização de Marte em 1953?

O expatriado alemão Wernher Magnus Maximilian von Braun (1912-1977), principal engenheiro de foguetes V-2 de Hitler e que se tornou a figura de proa no desenvolvimento da tecnologia de foguetes para a NASA e liderou a construção do foguete Saturn V que levou a Apollo 11 à Lua, em 1953 escreveu um livro chamado The Mars Project (Urbana, University of Illinois Press), no qual previu que os colonos humanos em Marte seriam liderados por um homem eleito democraticamente em um cargo meritocrático chamado "Elon".

Ich habe gelernt, mich des Wortes 'unmöglich' nur mit äußerster Vorsicht zu bedienen.

Every time this post comes around I think about Gil Scott-Heron's 'Whitey's on the Moon.' I think about the slaves of Peenemünde and the snatch-ups of Operation Paperclip finding such a welcoming home in the Deep South. I think about the appalling misogyny of the Apollo astronauts, their conservatism, those military men so pleased to be able to come home and shake Nixon's hand . I think a lot about the myths we tell about our past, how all the edges and moral compromises get sanded-off: of drawing a line from the clean Wehrmacht to the clean NASA, the ways in which the outflow of billions to space development was shared and shaped by the aerospace industry to grow and improve the nuclear arsenal and the rockets and bombs that would spend the subsequent decades falling on the rest of the world. I think about Apollo 11 on the pad: Luftwaffe engineer Günter Wendt, (whom John Glenn 'whimsically' dubbed "der Führer of der Launch Pad") shaking hands with Neil Armstorng (who as a bomber had helped contribute to the destruction of 85% of all North Korean buildings in the still on-going Korean War), Buzz Aldrin (who flew 66 combat missions in that same war), and Michael Collins (trained to deliver nuclear bombs as one of LeMay's boys). I think about the companies that built and were enriched by the Saturn V, the LEM, and the command and service modules: North American Aviation, Rockwell, McDonnell Douglas, Grumman, names who litter the battlefields on munitions and materiel. I think about the Reverend Ralph Abernathy Sr. with his protestors at Apollo 11, singing We Shall Overcome and pleading for something to be done about the crushing poverty afflicting his people. I think about the majority of Americans who were against Apollo, not because they were hide-bound or anti-tech but because they recognized its primary function was propaganda and coup-scoring against the Soviet Union in a time of serious privation. It certainly wasn't for science: even a cursory history of Apollo will note how sidelined the scientists were, and how negligible the scientific return was compared to what robotic probes could achieve faster, cheaper, and safer (which, indeed, has been an unavoidable criticism of manned spaceflight ever since.) You want to celebrate the Moon Landing? Sure. Why? I don't mean 'why' in the snide 'who cares' sort of way: I am not immune to the aesthetic glory of landing on the moon, to the power of its imagery, to the romanticism of the endeavor. If I was immune I would not have devoured as many books on the subject as i have, nor poured so much of my life into science fiction and all things space-themed. But, equally, I also understand that I was supposed to focus on those things, that the romanticism and the glory was the whole rhetorical point. If you want to celebrate the Moon Landing, it is imperative to ask the question 'why - and in what way?' At its best the Moon Landing can only be celebrated in the abstract, as the pinnacle of the Western values of technophilia and ingenuity. What gets harder is to celebrate it on a more personal level: the driving forces behind it were, at best, flawed people, at worst painfully human, men (and so many men) who were key players in the great crimes of our times, from Kennedy's brinkmanship in the second Indochina War, to the rehabilitated Nazis who put so much into the engineering, to the systemic misogyny of NASA as an organization to the astronaut corp themselves: a groups, as their own interviews and histories show, were largely the product of the time as conservative, white military men.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
