          the descendants of those nazis truly believe in the PR and they’ve doubled down; the woman whose computer i had to fix had prop 8 signs and a crucifix on her desk.

          i decided to quit because i realized that the software i was supposed to be troubleshooting was intended to make missiles more aerodynamic and nothing to do with space.

            I don’t doubt you saw something that scared you, but rockets and missiles are literally the same thing barring payload and trajectory and nobody is using bespoke software to puzzle out aerodynamics in 20xx, that’s table at the back of the college textbook stuff these days.

            NASA didn’t even exist until after ICBMs were invented in both the US and the Soviet Union, so idk what y’all are on about. NASA used old ICBM tech to make rockets that weren’t for military use. Atlas, an ICBM, is what launched the first US astronauts to space during the Mercury program.

            Also Von Braun was a Nazi

        They also developed the technology that will cause nuclear hellfire when the US empire decides to start using it.

        All that technology could have been developed by a peaceful entity but instead was used as PR to whitewash the atrocity of nuclear weapons development.

          You know NASA was founded over a decade after Manhattan project right.

          And that first ICBM came from the soviets, not from the USA. Also before NASA was founded.

            So what? JPL literally designs the rockets the US uses to create and maintain its nuclear arsenal. These aren’t refutations of the fact NASA is primarily a weapons research org in conjunction with the US DOD (Now DOW) and DARPA. Sorry to break it to you but Yanks are an evil, violent, malevolent culture that only cares about weapons and killing people.

              Now now mr conspiracy theorists. We are not talking about yanks and their culture. We are talking about NASA.

              The one agency in USA that is sience based, does most collaborations with other science based organisations and has done great scientific breaktroughs that has helped allmost every human on this planet and they have shared those findings

              Think for a moment. If NASA was an integral part of american military development and filled with evil geniouses that want to subjucate rest of the world, why they are the agency that struggles the most to keep their funding and has been for years under the knive.

                NASA is science and space exploration. There is some involvement with military, but a lot of that is launch stuff, not weapons design nor DoD rockets.
