[Edit: Also, I want to say, For All Mankind is a great show to watch, its an alt-history on what if the USSR won the race to the moon, and the space race never ended. In the show, Von Braun was director of NASA, and it's from this tv series that I learn of Von Braun (and of Tom Lehrer).]

I first learned about Von Braun from the movie October Sky, where four boys in a 1950’s coal mining town start building model rockets; they look up to NASA’s chief rocket engineer.

It's kinda weird to read from people they learned about von Braun in movies first when he was part of history lessons in my school.

Thanks for the song!

TIL

To make this song even more spot on, Lehrer used eight bars from the well-known German national anthem "Das Lied der Deutschen" as a song intro :-)

Show sucks from season 2 onwards. Ridiculous and unbelievable drama of unstable personalities

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yea, I kinda fast-forward and skip the personal drama, I just want to know what happens in the universe.

I hate part where...

Season 3 SpoilersNorth Korea gets someone to Mars 🤣

They should've just put China and it'd be much better

Like I just mentally replace any thing "North Korea" with China and its much more realistic.

But like, its all fiction, gotta maintain the suspension of disbelief I guess... 🤷‍♂️

I couldn't bear the cringe anymore when the

season 3 spoilersstep-mom-fetish son of Gordo turns into an outright psychopath and starts ruining basically everything.

I ended up stopping it in season 2 because it wasn't doing anything cool with the alt history, but I think that would have made me quit again.
