Your username checks out. I would just like to go ahead and remind that the US is a country of immigrants — people that left behind their old worlds to come build a new, better one. It’s the same spirit that’s driving and has driven US space innovation. Clamping together a rocket is pretty easy. Imagining it isn’t.

Your heart is in the right place. Too right perhaps. It’s easy to forget the kind of kindness that’s possible in the United States isn’t everywhere else.

The US rocket program was Kickstarted by kidnapped nazi scientists.

The fascists were more imaginative than your so called democracy and the communists even sent the first satellite and man into space. You overrate democracy and migration too much.

The US rocket program was kick started by Robbert Goodard, Goddard's widow successfully sued for patent infringement. Not something the thieves at the CCP will ever admit too.

This another lie. The west focussed on code breaking, radar and proximity fuses, weapons that had a massive impact on the war, the Nazis focussed on things like huge liquid powered rockets that had no impact.

The Chinese liquid fuelled rocket program was started on "stolen" Nazi technology. Being a very backward country they had to have it gifted to them from the Soviets.

>The first of the Dongfeng missiles, the DF-1 (SS-2, initially codenamed '1059', while the 'DF-1' designation was initially assigned to the project which later became DF-3[1]), was a licensed copy of the Soviet R-2 (SS-2 Sibling) short-range ballistic missile (SRBM),[2] based on the German V-2 rocket. The DF-1 had a single RD-101 rocket engine, and used alcohol for fuel with liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer. The missile had maximum range of 550 km and a 500 kg payload. Limited numbers of DF-1 were produced in the 1960s, and have since been retired.[1]

So China started with stolen German technology that was stolen from the US in the beginning.

Soviet Union does not exist any more. Seems a fate that has happened to almost all Communist countries. Just a couple left going.
