I LOVE NASA! BUT I WAS (E)PISSED(EMOLOGY) OFF THAT A NAZI WAS GIVEN THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP OVER JEWISH ROCKET SCIENTISTS. GODDARD'S GENUIS I BELIEVED SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED BY A MORAL PERSON AND NOT THE PERSON WHO CONVERTED HIS GENIUS INTO A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION. I INSINUATED THAT NAZI PRIDE IS EFFECTING THE SPACE PROGRAM IN WAYS OUTSIDE OF NASA'S REACH AND IMPEDES OUR RIGHT TO MAKE PRODUCTIVE USE OF THIS PROFOUND OPPORTUNITY. INITIALLY THE GOAL OF MAKING THE SOLAR SYSTEM OUR EARTHS "BACKYARD" HAD CAPTURED THE IMAGINATION AND TECHNOLOGICAL PURSUITS OF THE ANCIENT CHINESE, THE MODERN RUSSIANS AND EVEN A SINGLE UNKNOWN GENIUS IN THE USA NAMED ROBERT GODDARD.
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR TRANSFORMING THIS GOAL INTO A GLOBAL ECONOMIC FORCE FOR FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY WAS ACTUALLY INITIATED BY THE SOVIET UNION AFTER WORLD WAR TWO AS A MORAL ECONOMIC INITIATIVE TO REBUILD THEIR DEVASTATED NATION. AND WHEN THE USA LANDED ON THE MOON IN 1969, THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF ALL HUMANITY "REACHED OUT" TO OUR NATION'S ACCOMPLISHMENT IN SOLIDARITY.
