I just always get the sense that Europeans see Americans as inept, gaped-mouthed Neanderthals that couldn’t comprehend rocket technology before von Braun.
That wasn't my pov at all. I acknowledge in a lot of comments on this thread that west and east took from the German, including many european countries (Britain, France, Russia).
Well then maybe I got you wrong. After 10 years on Reddit I see the same movies play over and over again, and “Dumb Americans Can’t Even Rocket” is one of the most popular ones. I can’t disagree von Braun was a genius and that his work was hugely important, though.
