NASA chief suggests SpaceX may be booted from moon mission

"The president and I want to get to the moon in this president's term" - Sean Duffy NASA administrator.

A scary way to set a schedule on a complex project with lives at stake. They don't care though.

America is becoming a silly place. Lumberjack appointed as a head of NASA for his loyalty.

Werner von Braun was competent though, as was Parsons. Being a little silly is fine as long as you can do the job.

Being a Nazi is being a little silly?

He only cared about sending rockets up. Where they came down was other people's problem.

He was also totally ok with slave labor. He was a voluntary Nazi party insider and SS member. He deliberately chose to participate in Hitler’s totalitarian regime to advance his own goals. This kind of behavior should be remembered and condemned.

He was a brilliant designer, engineer, and project leader but he is an extremely problematic person for the methods he was comfortable using to achieve his goals.

Seems isomorphic to today's slave-driving death-marching CEOs that we celebrate so much. In a past time they would be right up there on the podium

I recommend reading "Operation Paperclip" to see the conditions the Nazis put their concentration camp workers in. Not really isomorphic.
