Default NASA marks anniversary of -- huh? Are they SERIOUS?!

And, as discussed here a few years ago, it wasted so much
Third Reich resources it shortened the war a year and saved
tens of millions of lives -- at the cost in other people's lives,
both at the receiving end and in the slave camps that built
components. A hideous calculus of casualties -- but in
cold-blooded terms, a net BIG plus for the good guys.
von Braun did more to aid the Allied victory than any other
German under Hitler, don't you agree?

There once was a plane called the V-2,
To pilot which one did not need to.
It went up, it came down
Leaving holes in the ground
And dead bodies and blood and debris, too.
