Von Braun in the News

[rich]

I realize Dyson is a physicist by trade and his opinions may be
clouded--he is obviously very much an admirer of what Von Braun
accomplished but the troubling questions about the Dora camp, VBraun's
Nazi past are only briefly mentioned. Dyson argues that the V-2 was
ineffectual and not all that "disturbing". Dyson I think loses all
sense of context like the psychological effects on ordinary people of
such weapons not only in London but in Antwerp not to mention what the
V-2 eventually lead to--time-efficient nuclear weapon global delivery
systems.
The last paragraph of the review basically thanks Von Braun for all he's done
