Cover Plato / Socrates
Speaking of JFK in the video:
QUESTION: Where is the FBI concerning the JFK incident? Supposedly, President Biden has sealed documents concerning JFK, that by law were supposed to be released to the public by now, but at the CIA's request, President Biden did not release those documents.
a. Why are there secret sealed documents in the first place concerning JFK?
b. Why exactly does the CIA not want President Biden to release those documents?
c. Why exactly is President Biden not following the law by releasing those documents?
d. What exactly is in those documents that the CIA and President Biden do not want the public to know?
e. Why exactly is the Secret Service and the FBI even a part of this cover-up even to this very day?
* Justice For JFK, no matter how long it takes.
Okay, since yooo toobe cens or s anything related to any *science* behind it(not even the mission itself which I not dared mention directly for algorhytm reasons already) *this badly* I can only conclude that this entire mission was indeed a *fake* and never happened. Okay case closed, got my final answer to it finaly. Hence will be my last visit on this channel too sadly, I can do well well without propa ganda.
You know what is even harder for me to believe as a scientist? How humans were able to penetrate the Van der Vaals Belt and come back with 0 radiation damage.
^^ That sadly is literaly about the only fraction of the comment I can get through this dystopian cens or ing machine... Clearly, certain powers at work do not want anyone to even go as far as mentioning or questioning any *science* behind it. And that alone speaks volumes and answers my question as to if this entire "mission" ever happened or not. Clearly, it did not.
Wernher von Braun needs his own movie like Oppenheimer
yes, i would love a serious movie about him. Not those cheesy "History" channel takes. And what was the deal with him and walt disney? They became super close.. and we all know Walts and his perspective on the jewish ppl. Seems a little shady imo
We already have him (as Jurgen Voller) in the latest Indy Jones disaster :D
👍👍
"When the rockets go up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department!" Says Werner von Braun
now i understood those ''where were NASA scientists during WWII'' memes
I had a lot of family in Huntsville. As a kid, I got shipped there in the summer to hang out with cousins. It wasn't until I was an adult, that I got into history. When I learned that Von Braun lived in Huntsville, I said...OMG...For all I know, we may have driven by his house.
History is rich and complex. Thanks for expanding it just a little bit more. 👍🏿
As an engineer who worked at MSFC NASA n Huntsville in the 90s, I CRINGE every time I hear the term “rocket scientist “. These Germans were rocket engineers and I was able to meet one who gave a speech at NASA.
Scientists think about things. Engineers do things.
Perfect 👌🏾
@ Jack, Science is potential energy, engineering is the kinetic result of scientific thinking. If Dr. von Braun were confined to a wheelchair, he would still be a great rocket scientist. Trust me, I think about $hit all of the time, and then I get other people to do all of the heavy lifting for me.
The funny thing about your comment is that I’m an older engineer now near retirement. And use a wheelchair. But I’m still an engineer, not a scientist. When I said engineers “do things “, I mean they design, analyze and test things like rockets.
I was only being somewhat disparaging of scientists just for fun. In my mind the actual science behind rocketry was well before Von Braun. It included people from Newton, Navier, Joules, Carnot, Kelvin and many others that worked out the physics and equations that Von Braun and engineers today use when developing rockets.
To add to the comments: Scientists strive to understand the world as it is. Engineers strive to make the world the way we want it to be.
@@wcg19891 Hans Bethe of Manhattan Project fame (along with Morrison) said something similar. The physics was understood. The Manhattan Project was an engineering project, not a scientific one. I'm not smart enough to challenge either of those gentlemen !
Wow can't believe I haven't heard of this channel sooner. This is great content. Well made videos. Ive been browsing
Your videos are amazing and easy to digest. I am so engaged by your creativity, pace and insight. this is what the web was meant to be..
I saw him, live. Lecturing at Millersville University. (Just outside of Lancaster, PA.) When I was in High School Physics class. This was 1974.
He spoke of hopes to create new metalic alloys in the absence of gravity (out in space). The goal was to make super-conductors at room temperature. Which was expected to allow them to create computer memory more dense than the human brain. I suspect our present day "thumb drives" or "flash drives" have achieved this storage capacity.
You have a great memory!
@@kushclarkkent6669 Thank you. Now in a fit of ego, I will quote Bugs Bunny: "Yes I know it. ... I can't help it.".
This is from an episode "What's Opera, Doc?" Where Bugs and Elmer Fudd are acting out a Wagnerian opera. Bugs in drag, is deceiving Elmer -- who is smitten by his beauty. Elmer sings: "Oh bwoom-hilda ... you're so wov-wee." Then Bugs toys with him. "Yes, I know it. I can't help it."
Nope. Only super computers have reached that point so far.
According to one book during development l, the V2 was falling apart as it came down. The engineers wanted to see it happen so decided that they would target an open field and stand directly at the point they were targeting reasoning that they knew they weren’t that accurate so should be safe.
That day they were pretty accurate and the rocket came down within a hundred yards of them. Fortunately for them just far enough they weren’t killed. But still pretty funny. Or at least I think so!
von Braun often joked that their goal was to make it more dangerous to be in the target area than the launch area!
so well done
The production was originally with the engineering development at Peenemunde on the Baltic Sea. The Allies got word and bombed it. Due to that the Nazis moved production to the Nordhausen cave complex and started using slave labor instead of German labor due to secrecy concerns. But the V2 had many operational failures. Nobody knows how many of these slave laborers threw in dirt or pebbles deep in the rocket.
Or were hung at the front gate.
I'm puzzled by the fact von Braun never (if I'm correct) attended debriefing conferences after Apollo missions, at least not the public ones. You'd think the father of rocketry would.
Because he wasn't an actor to tell the public a lie about fake moon landing.
Perhaps he thought he didn’t deserve it given his past
@@blakjewellio1407 Yeah I don't think so. he was pretty over that.
Born in the year of Sputnik, I grew up with the space program. Apollo was discussed in school every day for two years prior to the moon landing. The White House and NASA propaganda was hot & heavy at that time. Although I was a top science student and the NASA liaison for my school, I NEVER remember hearing of von Braun until well after the Apollo program had ended. His name just didn't come up very often because the focus was on the astronauts, the mission and the science. In addition, we were taught that absolutely no astronauts drank alcohol, smoked tobacco or participated in promiscuous activity. In other words, the message was always tightly controlled and von Braun was kept almost as invisible as Soviet Chief Designer Sergei Korolev.
I remember it differently. He was quite the media darling at times but he did not get the celebrity of the astronauts. He was the evil genius behind the scenes while the astronauts were hailed as All-American heroes. But quite honestly, the astronauts were nothing more than trained monkeys with a few exceptions.
I love your perspective in this video it’s fair thanks 🙏 for the info this changes the way I look at life
Really, really, wonderful and fair perspective on Von Braun. Thank you!
Amazing videos!
I love all your videos, thank you, I'm kids thinks I'm nerdier than ever.
Of course von Braun saw the tunnels. The chief engineer would always be involved in production.
I don't know, was he the designated production engineer, or was he head of the design team? Do you really think the design bureau was located in the tunnels? He visited the tunnels, he didn't have his office there.
But, notice, that none of the virtue signalers have ever said what Von Braun was supposed to have done to prevent the atrocities or to help the victims.
"Of course he saw them!"
And, ....so?
The V2 was called the A4 by the engineers. A stands for aggregate which referred to the entire rocket with all its systems instead of the individual components. Only later did the government refer to it as vengeance.
The developers of the V2, Wasserfal, Redstone, Jupiter and Saturn weren't scientists. They were engineers.
Von Braun was a friggen Genius!! He made things happen when it came to Rockets! Brilliant man and well respected!!!
Yeah, he was brilliant… he was still a nazi tho
Both Von Braun bio’s... cite that he had the idea to launch a manned - rocket with a capsule , land in the sea .. even before 1948.
Octangenarian Library Aid commenting about on the ground talk around ... Roswell I cede the;
“ We knew it had to be something from the White Sands Missile Base....”
Incedent
Well respected? He was a member of the SS and invented one of the nazis most deadly rockets and is linked to the death of thousands.
I bet you are a musk fan.😂
很好的解说，感谢分享😀
Great comment young Sheldon
"He aimed for the stars, but sometimes hit London."
Von Braun is probably one of the 5 or 6 most important people responsible for Apollo not the only person. 400,000 people worked on Apollo the vast majority were american.
... and young. The average age of those who worked on the Apollo program was incredibly young. NASA then got old and fat. Let's hope it emerges again with some youth and vitality. And I say this as someone who is pushing 60.
But Von Braun Was And Is The Biggest Pioneer In General, Cause He Was The Pulse Generator And His Rockets The First In Space, Also With High Speed. Everything Needs A Beginning - Starting Something New Is Always The Most Difficult Thing.
This is American white wash of a European
Genius von Braun lead the whole project and was head of nasa he is one of most important people in history period he made his dream a reality
He was the chief architect
If i will bring 5 million homies to work on a similar project. And without the “mind”, will finish with a tractor rocket thingy bomb. So give credit accordingly.
As a Space enthusiast, for years I have studied the role and the deeds of all most important enablers of the "Conquest" of Space.
And my impression is, that Von Braun wasn't enthusiast of the German war machine, nor it was interested in politics and politicians. He defined the rocket core concept, that a turbopump is necessary to inject the fuel into the combustion chamber - at a pressure higher than the pressure of the engine exhaust, which allowed his rockets to lift tons of weight off the ground, instead of the few kilos achieved with rockets without turbopumps. The Saturn V lifted 100 tons in low Earth orbit, i.e. all the machinery, equipment and fuel necessary to go to the Moon and return safely to Earth...
I disagree. He was very enthusiastic to use his "toys" for Germany's cause in WWII. He could have easily bugged out for Switzerland or elsewhere during the war, but he didn't. HIs actions then speak volumes. WWII gave him a laboratory and guinea pigs. He reveled in it. What he did later was great, but let's not forget the human toil on which it was built.
@@JC-xq3jl He was also well aware of the slave labor used to build the Nazi war machine.
As a space enthusiast how far do you think man will get in it?
@@JC-xq3jl lol
For someone who was politically uninterested, he at least made it to SS Sturmbandführer. You had to volunteer for the SS. A Sturmbandführer is equivalent to a mayor in the US Army. And this promotion came through Himmler himself. He will definitely have tried hard. According to prisoners, he visited Nordhausen and Mittelbau Dora concentration camps at least 6 times.
Grew up in the Huntsville, AL area where von Braun worked at NASA...this has been very informative.
Really well presented and researched! Could you please do a video about how parts of the internet are getting deleted by search engine companies?
Really!?
That explains why google search results have not been so great since the big C hit
But why? Whats their goal from doing this?
All those brains, but still married his cousin.
What?

Oddly and tragically more people died making the V2 weapon than were killed from its use
Ironic
Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs!
Continue this into the Haunebu. This is public knowledge now. 1952 D.C. flyover.
Don’t forget about his warning.
We need to understand one thing! Engineers or scientists put their best efforts to fulfill tasks assigned by higher authorities. JUST because their creations were used for Evil purpose does not mean the man is evil
ah yes. and we cant blame those scientists for making faulty vaccines. it was all the DEAs fault :p.
Hi Cindy 👋
Does Von Braun’s work justify naming a Moon/Mars settlement after him or does his past exempt him from such honours? What do you think?
i guess it depends on who you ask ...
Different people will give completly different answers and reasoning ...
So i think this will never happen ... the controversy is way to strong ...
Hmm... here in Germany the "Central Council of Jews in Germany" is outraged about EVERYTHING ... it feels like if Germany would dare to try to do something like that, israel would nuke it from the moon just to prevend it happening ...
(I exaggerated here to make my point ... dont take to literaly pls)
@@nopenever9829 I don’t mean the germans naming it after him I mean humanity naming a settlement after him. But I get your point thst too many people would be opposed to it. Which in a sense is a shame because his work does warrant that sort of showing of respect. But not his work with the nazis of course. Do you think we could name a settlement after him but then include a holocaust rememberence statue or museuk of some sort that explicitly states that despite his great contributions and genius he was a nazi
@@Jearbearjenkins hmmm ... when it comes to "tasteful" stuff ... i think about stuff like the Song "Father" form Sabaton ... listen to it and maybe you know what i mean ...
@@nopenever9829 10
Von Braun is an American hero. One of the greatest actually. Of course we will name a colony after him, its our decision to make since he died as one of us and his greatest achievement was for us. His Saturn V resulted in the greatest achievement of humanity ever lol. Walking on the moon. This guy is the recipient of all honors its possible to give in America lol
You should have mentioned that in his book "The Mars Project", he said that an elected official on Mars would be called the "Elon"
Is that really true
@@blakjewellio1407 Yes it's really quite fascinating because it could be true for a future Mars colony.
And he was inspired by Yugoslavian scientist
I have a relative who was a good friend of Verner von Braun, his last name is Winkler. exactly what my grandfather's mother's surname was also called. Winkler and Werner von Braun were really good friends and their teacher in rocketry was called Dr ohbars I hope the last name was correct. Winkler and Verner von Braun and their other relatives are also named Winkler and von Braun, although it was in the Luftwaffe where they flew henkel 111. for me, it's just history that happened a long time ago. it's only 0.2% of the people who argue about what happened 80 to 90 years ago, have a pathetic clean statement. life goes on i wonder when we land on pluto they are fun aren't they.
So.. should we forget all about N.zis and just repeat the same mistake over and over?
I did NOT see that coming!
This is inspiring
As a mass murder🖕
This is very nice community. ❤❤
Niel Armstrong the 1st man landed on moon. But those scientist are the greatest of all.
Is there anyway that i can get brilliant membership for free?
You can if you sign up with my link - you’ll have access to some of the courses but not all
@@Newsthink Thanks for the reply.
Interesting. I don't disagree with pretty much all of it. Curious
No one knows exactly what von Braun was thinking.
You can call someone a war criminal, but in that fascist regime any wrong word meant the death penalty.
Of course there were forced labourers, but what could you have done?
Someone who has worked in a fascist environment knows exactly what this means and how it feels.
Well, there goes NASA…
Show me a Foto with Wernher in Houston Controlcenter during moonmission.
I would hope that he saw his work as a type of atonement for what happened something to move humanity forward rather than hold it back
I honestly do believe that von Braun was not a Nazi. He was an opportunist and not a ideologist, his goal was too engineer a rocket.
It would be very naive to think he wasn't complicit in such things as using forced labor. Maybe he didn't care, but not caring doesn't absolve you of war crimes.
Make a video on Sergei korolev

Newsthink Dr Wernher Von Braun wasn't really controversial, he was an innocent and talented engineering scientists and genius.
Because ever since he read a book about rockets and going into space, he had the ambition and he really wanted to make it all a reality. The truth is throughout his life, he had been fascinated and willing to build rocket ships to go into space. I also do believe that he never wanted to be involved with conflict and war, and I really do believe he was one of them that never believed in conflict and war.
I also do believe that in his vision, he never wanted to design and make rocket fuel for conflict and war. He wanted his ideas as peaceful purposes, because he really wanted to use his ideas and visions for space only. Because his number one dream and goal was to build rocket ships to go into space, and he hoped that spaceflight will be the future of traveling into outer space. As well as exploration to go to the Moon and even the red planet Mars.
I really believe that Dr Wernher Von Braun really wanted to do those ideas, and that they were part of his vision of space travel and space exploration. and he wanted to build rocket ships to do all of that.
And even though he worked for the nazis, and I'm very happy that you've explained in this video. Because later on when he was still with the nazis, he became a prisoner himself. Because they were evidence that he was tortured in prison, and when he was released. He wore a very big bandage on his arm. And whenever I would see that picture, I do believe that they probably broke his arm. The Nazis that is, because I really believe those guys had somehow tortured him in prison.
Because I do believe later on Von Braun realized that he was making weapons for the Nazis, and I believe he was scarred and affected by it so badly. And I do believe he was ashamed of himself for making weapons, that he really wanted to make rocket ships to go into outer space. So I do believe at some point later on he wanted to escape the Nazis, and vowing himself never to make weapons ever again.
Another thing I do believe that he told some of those Nazis that he really wanted to make rocket ships to go into space and that's it, but they didn't care of what he really wanted to do. And I do believe that they forced him to make weapons anyway, and if Von Braun didn't cooperate and didn't follow their orders. He too would be their prisoner, in which he was later on during World War II. And I do believe they did torture him in prison, forcing him to make weapons for the Nazis.
Luckily when the war was over, Von Braun was released out of prison. I believe he was worried at first if he would be arrested by Americans, but luckily they did not arrest him. They had been fascinated of his scientist skills, and engineering talents to build rockets.
And so in a way I believe the Americans really saved and rescued him away from the Nazis. And so Dr Wernher Von Braun had a new and better life to make his ideas and visions into a reality in the United States.
And then former President Eisenhower formed NASA in the late 1950s, and decided that Dr Wernher Von Braun should be the lead technician, engineer and scientists of all of the rockets they would build at NASA.
Dr Wernher Von Braun was really a genius and a true visionary, as well as a dreamer. Because for all of his life he wanted to make spaceflight a reality with space travel and space exploration, with powerful rocket ships that he wanted to design and build.
Alive today, I believe Dr Wernher Von Braun would continue his ideas and visions to focus only two outer space
Tom Lehrer has a song about Vin Braun.
sweet,,,
If we ever went to the moon there would be cameras filming the earth 24 hrs a day to sell footage to weather stations. It can't be done. India would've at least put some there when they allegedly went recently.
I am really shocked how forgiving most of these posts are.
Forgiven for what???
Yes, he knew of the use of forced labour in the V2 Production. But he had not ordered it. The Man who ordered it was Albert Speer.
Every German Factory became obducted people form Eastern Europe. They were allocated to them by the State rather the factory owners liked it or not. As an Engineer von Braun had nothing to do with the production at all. Even if he had tried to stop the forced labour, he could not do anything to make it happen.
In fact von Braun was arrested by the Gestapo already in 1944 because he made plans to flee to the UK and work for the Allies. He was charged of ,Wehrkraftzersetzung‘ (treason against the state). A Crime punished by death in the third Reich. He came free only because of the fact that his military superiors went to Hitler and begged for his life. And the higher Nazis knew that executing von Braun would also mean the End of the Nazi Rocket Programm. Only because of that they spared his life.
His only crime was that he knew about the Weapon Production through Slave Labor.
Is Knowledge alone a Crime???
@@jpeterson303 he could have defected at ANY time during the war but did'nt. that should speak volumes of how little he cared what his rockets were being used for.
@@thenightwatchman1598 No. He could not. He was Germany’s best Rocket-Engineer and under constant surveillance from the Gestapo. Just like Wernher Heisenberg, Germany’s best Physicist. He made Plans for his escape to Britain in 1944 but the Gestapo arrested him and his Brother on Himmlers Orders. After he was arrested for the first time, the surveillance was even intensified. The Boss of the Gestapo Himmler wanted to execute him for treason and he survived only because Speer personally went to the Führer and insisted (against Himmler) on von Braun’s release. During that time there was huge rivalary between the leading figures of the Nazi State and no Citizen in the Reich was above suspicion. It wasn’t like in 1940 when Rudolph Hess could easily buy an Airplane by Mr. Messerschmitt without anybody noticing it and then fly to Britain.
@@thenightwatchman1598 Once a person was consumed by the Nazi State (became part of a State Programm), they won‘t ever let that Person out. Even if the Person wanted it. Even Heisenberg could not exit, although he not wanted to build a Nazi Atomic Bomb.
I think he simply didn't care as long as he was provided with all he needed for research. He was not a victim of the regime - in fact, he profited a lot from his connections at the top.
Love ❤️ your videos! I was 16 years old when Armstrong and Aldrin set foot on the Moon, an unforgettable experience. My father told me about Von Braun nazi relation during WW2, but not judging him. He admired Von Braun a lot and I did it too since. Saturn V was his creation and took humanity to the Moon nine times, including Apollos 8, 10 and 13 which didn’t land but did reach the Moon. He was a genius and is one of the most important human beings ever lived. He will never be forgotten.

Is the title of this video right ?
It can be considered correct, since we also say we collectively sent mankind to the moon. It's a sort of figurative manner of word choice, but you could argue that Neil and Buzz going to the moon did send part of NASA there.
Edit: unless you mean the "Nazi" part, in which case you need to watch tbe video before asking lol
@@theelephantintheroom69 I was right. They changed the title.
His life is very interesting to say the least. He was very intelligent. He's also my cousin.
sweet home Alabama!
Werner von Braun was a great scientist he was the head of nasa yet he would listen to others ideas and never felt he was better the other scientists infact the lunar medial wasn’t his idea but when it was brought to him by an American scientist he listened and used his idea and that is how we were able to put a man on the moon if he wasn’t a great leader for nasa we would have never put an astronaut on the moon great job by Werner vin Braun!
Ich beobachtete den Mond 🌛zur Vollmondnacht mit Fuji Camera und stellte seitlich fest das der Planet kein fester Körper sondern ein Plasmaplanet ist und Mondlandung niemals stattfand und auf CZcams dem Suchbegriff: Chnopfloch- Great Reset erfuhr ich das selbe was ich mit Camera sah.
The Unites States allowed a foreigner lead their NASA efforts of the 1960's to send a man to the moon and to bring him back safely. The US did not allow two academic scientists of small countries of Europe near Denmark visiting the White House in 1942 or so, when the duo had proposed to President Roosevelt to be lead scientists and project managers and to lead the newly re inaugurated and highly funded nuclear weapons program of 1942. They had arrived in the White House in 1942 with blueprints of the Soviet nuclear weapons program.
One small step for A man...
His dream was make rockets to land into the moon! Mission accomplished!😂
If you didn't have a controversial past, I feel bad for you.
But there is a difference between being a literal nazi and having e.g. skipped school a few times

Professor Triphon Tournesol didn't have the same skeletons in his closets.
Real life IS complicated and when dealing with humans few things are black and white. Thank you for another good video.
Side note. The Piccard family is very interesting. You pronounced it different than I'm use to and I almost didn't catch that's who you were talking about. In the 80s I had an FAA Hot Air Balloon Repair Station. Don Piccard made Piccard Balloons and when doing annual inspections on them is when I first meet Don. Later he associated with SoloSystem Balloons which I learned to fly. I believe Don made the envelopes and they were a work of art with a unique venting system.
Writing this I just saw he passed two years ago. I'm at that stage of life where I'm collecting, not regrets, but "I wish I hads". I wish I had kept in touch with him. A very unique person. Didn't matter to me that he was famous in the ballooning community.
(I refuse to have regrets because with out those decisions I wouldn't be where I am today. Which is extremely happy!)
Yeh We all know that Werner was a German genius scientist during WW2 but without him the USA wouldn’t have got to the moon
Also a mass murderer👎
Why does she call him Von Bown😂
Thanks to Russian help pre operation Barbarossa the father of rocketry was a Russian
When Russians looked at V1 they laughed at how sadly engineered it was
Sure that's why the russians never had something better in the war.
@@kerim.s8801 So what? Von Braun and his nation didn't win it ;)

"Zats not my department" says Wernher von Braun
If we did land on the Moon.
Outer space is fiction, the firmament is real. He acknowledged it in his tombstone, PSalms 19:1
Paperclip!
Pure evil

Im distantly related to him through my german ancestry sadly we as the united states we have a big stained history of picking up and using war criminals for our political gain
If Hitler had the same knowledge about rockets that Von Braun possessed, America would have welcomed him with open arms as well. America had one goal. Bring Von Braun to America before Russia takes him. It paid off. We reached the moon first with his Saturn rocket. It simply proves that no matter how much we scream about the inhumanities of the world, there's only one master. Greed. So sing your songs to save the polar bear. Hold your televised stadium concert to save the rain forest. Travel across the world to plant rice to save the world from starvation. In the end It's the golden rule. Those that have the gold, make the rules.
See? this proof my point of view
He was a Nazi who if he had the chance would have had Hitler's atomic bomb in one of his rockets. He wasn't anguished by what he was doing like Oppenheimer, I don't under stand the compulsion to make excuses for him. He was the very opposite of complex. He just happened to be very brilliant rocket scientist.
Yeah, more of a cynical careerist
Bout the moon lol why dey can't go now lol 😂😂😂

Controversial? He built rockets for the enemy in WWII.
Psalms 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.”
Space need Time searching for space wasting money and Time
These scientists would not be able to get a security clearance today, it would be dam near impossible
Interestingly, Dr. Robert Goddard influenced their scientists, to reciprocate and come over here and spark out space program.
Very shallow analysis, unfortunately. It is very presumptuous to judge a person who lived in Germany that period, specially a gifted student with special talent to assemble a team to perform complex work enrolled in a much bigger organization under threat and at war.
