Von Braun certainly did invent rocketry.

He didn't invent it, but he brought the technology far beyond anything that had existed before. His designs were not the first to fly, but the V2 was the first rocket to leave Earth's atmosphere, and the Saturn V is thus far the only rocket to put a man on the moon.

Arguably as much as one physicist ever singlehandedly “invents” something, rockets would be Robert Godard (US).

Von Braun (also like real scientists) was quite apolitical. Men of science seldom have time, or the personality, to care about how the unwashed masses organize themselves. This is your strongest evidence that the “climate scientists” are no such thing. If they were scientists studying the climate they wouldn’t have time or hubris to lecture the world on policies that are obviously wrong.

What Von Braun did was TAKE THE GOVERNMENT MONEY! Because governments have a tendency to print as much as they need. And all governments always steal as much as they can from the citizens. It is just what power does to people.

Thus Von Braun was able to advance his theories without the constraints of budget. FUN FACT; After being wisked off to America in 1945 he basically sat in Alabama forgotten and unfundee for the next 12 years. It was not until Sputnik that the US remembered that rockets existed and maybe it would be a neat idea to build one.

At that point history repeated itself. Von Braun once again was given truly unlimited resources. This culminated less than 10 years later I’m the Saturn 1C (sateen V). Which by most measures is still today the most advanced rocket ever produced. Certainly the four decade excursion into the space shuttle was two generations completely thrown away. NASA from 1970 to present is just a federal jobs program. The reason Americans launched last weekend was because someone had the bright idea to give a tiny sliver of that government money to a private company so they could do something useful for the first time in two generations.

Godard is Googles answer for 'who invented the rocket'. He certainly built a few prototypes, theorized about space travel. But he is not the inventor of the rocket. His 'rockets' didn't have a turbopump until after 1935, when Von Braun had created the first true rocket.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbopump#Early_development

The inventor of the idea of rockets is Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. He created the Tsiolkovsky equation, still used today. He took the idea of space travel and inserted actual calculations, and wrote at length about the technical aspects of various space travel mechanisms that are being used today, a decade before Godard.

When asked "Who invented the rocket", I'll say either Tsiolkovsky or Von Braun, it's debatable, but Godards only claim to being the inventor is being american.

Meanwhile, the American who invented solid rocket fuel was a fucking Satanist.

Blacks are the biggest white supremacists, whether they realize it or not. They are drawn to white-run countries.

Capitalism didn't send anyone into space, educated europeans sent people into space.

SpaceX was on a government contract. Basic research and breakthrough experiments are mostly performed at a financial loss, which only governments can reliably power through when it comes to space.

I'm Russian. Most people don't realize that the Soviet Union was very ethno-centric and realized that blacks are detrimental to its progress. Likewise, central asians (who are now the cancerous analogues of shitskins here in the states) were kept at bay. Most people who trash communism that I see, dont' associate their view of communism with an economic idea, but rather a social idea.

If you go to Russia now, the communist party is the conservative party. Communists in Russia are against: immigration, non-traditional sexual relationships, pornography, smut, drugs, and other capitalistic-hedonistic phenomena.

Capitalism is what allows niggers to be how they are. Everyone wants to keep earnin' those dollars so they keep appeasing the niggers so that the Feds don't label them as "racist". And those in america who are "communists" have not a clue what communism in Russia is/was like.

You guys think North Korea would let this shit go down? They'd take them all out and say they were counter-revolutionary saboteurs because they were too lazy to work for the greater good of society.

This is always a fascinating discussion. Working together for a common goal is always a better idea than competition. Except when it's not.

I don't think the hedonistic/nihilistic attitudes of the west are deserving of any praise. But free markets are much better than a state run monopoly, receiving higher pay for more work, is much better than the flat salary. The freedoms are better than the slavery.

Obviously these are complicated concepts, and need much deeper analysis than I'm willing to spend on a comment. But I hope the western world will shift away from what I would call communist mindset, and into what you would call a communist mindset. Capitalism in terms of economic policy is ultimately the superior system however.

What I love about capitalism is it's "can-do" attitude. The idea that you can pull yourself out of whatever rut you're in. However, there are inherent problems in capitalism like, bubbles, overproduction, exploitation (not what the niggers call "exploitation", real exploitation like what they do to post-docs and grad students in academia), pollution and environmental impact and monopolization.

What I like about communism is it's efficiency of control. The 5 year plan scheme, their ability to unite on a united front. A coherent set of policies that have an unambiguous set of goals.

Communism too has problems, yet as you said discussing the problems with either system is more nuanced than the average arm-chair economist is willing to undertake. One thing I'll say though, I'll respect any capitalist so long as the capitalist's interests does not encroach on mine. One thing we call all agree is that societies progress better when they are homogeneous and not mixed with different peoples. Blacks in-particular have a very aggressive temperament and are adverse to hard labour. They deserve to have their own state, but I think that there should be states where blacks cannot go and leave us white folks alone.
