After WWII the United States brought some 1,600 Nazis into the country to work as engineers and specialists in various high-education and skill level positions.
Call it the first H-1B program.
Wernher von Braun was one of those scientists. He was a full fledged Nazi who worked on the rocket development team for Adolf and helped develop the V-2 rocket which was literally the first intercontinental ballistic missile. The Nazis used it on targets like London, Paris and Antwerp.
Wernher helped U.S. military develop their own versions of that type of rocket until NASA got a hold of him and used him to help create the boosters that would lift Apollo rockets into orbit for their fake moon landings.
While here, after the war, Nazi Wernher wrote a book called Project Mars: A Technical Tale. I believe he wrote it while living on a military base in Texas.
Turns out the story is about post Communism world where the U.S. and the rest of the world turned against the commies and blew them up by launching nukes from space. Then they decided to turn their attention, literally, from getting revenge for winning WWII (it's a Nazi writing it remember) to looking at Mars for some reason and lo and behold... they decide to go there.
So, they pack up a fleet of spaceships and fly to Mars only to find, its already inhabited by folks living... underground (remember that cus it's important later)
Elon Musk's father Errol was big into rockets when he was a kid living the good life of a white privileged child in apartheid South Africa. Elon grew up there until he was 17.
Did you know Peter Thiel was also South African? Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Paul Furber and David Sachs. All children of apartheid. All big time supporters of Donald Trump who makes jokes about the poor not taking showers.
Hmm.
