http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_BraunOn the back of Flammables rocket thread it got me thinking of how President Kennedy hired this war monger in an effort to beat the Russians to space,incredible really a few years after his rockets had killed and maimed the poor folk of London with his V bomb.
Now its akin to President Obama hiring Chemicle Ali when you think about it.
After the honeymoon period Kennedy really did make some strange decisions which really saw his popularity nosedive and the smug satire in Tom Lehrer's scetch below which he did in the 1960's.
