Don't you think he would have been promoted till 69?

Please compare Sergei_Korolev#Awards_and_honours

> his role in the U.S. space program is totally overestimated

IIRC he popularized the idea with the help of a Disney TV show, before NASA was even founded.

NB: I wasn't too serious just watching a lot of alternate reality shows, while weirdos are taking over real governments.

"...he would have been promoted..." Probably yes if this dumb ars wouldn't have killed JFK way down in Texas in 1963. The first time i saw my grandfather weep. A real hard-boiled man that survived two big wars. But i wonder what the merits would have been for the promotion: Efficent use of a slide rule? And this ~~thing~~ tool looks like the one my father used. «The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe» `perl -MCrypt::CBC -E 'say Crypt::CBC->new(-key=>'kgb',-cipher=>"Blowfish")->decrypt_hex($ENV{KARL});'`Help	[reply] [d/l]

> Probably yes if this dumb ars wouldn't have killed JFK way down / Wernher killed JFK? ... Now that you mention it ... I wasn't referring to John F. when I was talking about the Führer and alternative reality Anyway I have to stop this here, Mel and I need to march back to our panzer base.

"...Wernher killed JFK? ..." No. He didn't. As you know. Probably this is the first time i consider to downvote one of your nodes. But i don't. And who the f**k is Mel? I guess you mean Mel Gibson. I don't know any tank driving Melanie. Best regards, Karl.
