  • Maybe he was an opportunist. Get over it. Many of the political leaders and great scientists throughout history have been opportunists. That doesn't change the fact he made a lasting impact on the 20th century and this nation would have been a much different place without his contributions to our civilization.

  • Opportunist? Just like the US Army in WW2 was when they took in the German rocket scientists...thank God for opportunists like Von Braun,who got us and kept us, ahead of the Russians, so we never had to go to sleep by the light of a Communist moon, (so aptly stated by LBJ). Von Braun did more for this country than most Americans will ever realize.

  • "NAZI" IS THE YIDDISH WORD FOR GERMAN..........

    SO WHEN HEAR PEOPLE SAY "NAZI GERMANY" REALISE YOUR BEING PLAYED BY JEWS......

  • Bad joke for the day . . . want to know why the Japanese are so smart? genetic mutations due to atomic blast mutations . . . and now destroyed fission plants!

  • @tomwindsolar

    I heard recently that a particular city was the first target; don't know why they switched to Nagasaki and Hiroshima; but, they obviously did; anyways . . . Tokyo!

  • @tomwindsolar

    Now, back then, the first atomic(fission bomb) and even the first hydrogen bombs(fusion bombs) were like a few percent energy/mass conversion; if they ever make like 90 percent energy/mass conversion, then, well . . . ; there's also the possiblity of anti-matter bombs . . . ; but, those are remarkably enough technologically hard even for our enlightened technological age! This could change soon though!

  • @tomwindsolar

    I remember seeing a interesting picture of Nagasaki in my Nigal Henbest "The Exploding Universe"; you could see the boundaries of the blast from one side of the town to the other; clearly, whoever took the picture was standing on one edge of the town; it's kind of striking. Nuclear bombs simply are not 'that' big; an asteroid collision like in 1908 is far bigger; so are volcanic eruptions.

  • @tomwindsolar

    "Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki" - from wikipedia

  • @tomwindsolar

    Millions? Maybe a few hundred thousand per town(nagasaki and HIroshima).

  • What about Einstein and his help with the atomic bomb that killed millions?

    A Nazi too?
