America’s space race was built on stolen lives. After World War II, the U.S. recruited over 1,600 Nazi scientists through Operation Paperclip. These weren’t innocent men. They worked for Hitler. They designed weapons like the V-2 rocket, built with slave labor from concentration camp prisoners. At Mittelwerk, prisoners were starved, beaten, and worked to death — more people died building those rockets than were killed by them in combat. Instead of facing justice, men like Wernher von Braun were given new homes, clean résumés, and celebrated careers. Von Braun became a central figure at NASA, even though his success was tied to factories run with human suffering. This is the truth: the U.S. looked the other way on atrocities when it was convenient. The Moon landings, often remembered as a pinnacle of human achievement, are also a reminder of how quickly ethics can be sacrificed for power. Never forget the victims who paid the price so others could be called “genius.” Trust them if you want lol
