Take a moment to remember Werhner von Braun, the rocketeer of such a checkered past ,who this date in 1959 joined NASA and became the driving force behind Kennedy's commitment to the moon. When Gargarin's mission floored America's morale yet again and our politicians searched for an answer to this latest Kruschev propaganda triumph, who was there to sell JFK on his own age old dream? Werhner. Thus was born APOLLO.

Take a moment to remember Werhner von Braun...

 

"And who's going to spend $5 billion of your dollars to put some clown on the moon? Well its good old American know how, as provided by good old Americans like Dr. Werner Von Braun...."

 

Gather round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun

A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience

Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown

"Ha, Nazi schmazi!" says Wernher von Braun

 

Don't say that he's hypocritical

Say rather that he's apolitical

"Once the rockets are up, who cares vere they come down?

Dot's not my depahtment," says Wernher von Braun

 

Some have harsh words for this man of renown

But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude

Like the widows and cripples in old London town

Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun

 

You too may be a big hero

Once you've learned to count backwards to zero

"In German oder English I know how to count down...

Und I'm learning Chinese," says Wernher von Braun

 

-- Tom Lehrer

The man was the supreme self-centered EGOIST!

A moment to remember Carl Jung?
