Was Wernher von Braun a bad guy?
A scientist who only cares for his or her research is a fool. Scientists who know their work is to be used for evil yet willingly continue are themselves, by definition, evil.

Michael Neufeld stated it best by noting that... " it is comforting to pigeon hole him as either white or black, because then one does not have to deal with his ambiguity and complexity, or the ambiguity and complexity of the moral and political choices offered to scientists and engineers in the modern era. One thing is, however, clear: the foundation of his remarkable career as an engineer manager and space visionary was his romantic ambition to explore space, if possible personally.
