Wow....this waste of bandwidth is still going on?

Would have been nice to learn something about the Horton....but instead I see it turned into another 'Germany was a nation of supermen who invented absolutely every thing ever....period!!! and history is written by the winners so it's all lies lies lies!!!'

The 262 was not so revolutionary, pioneering but not revolutionary, swept wings were a british invention (J.W.Dunne), the automatic slats were already on the 109......a Handley page patented design.

Oh and why doesn't Leicester Space centre say anything about Von-Braun?
My guess is because its simply a family based experience of a place with the purpouse of inspiring youngsters to look to the heavens and not be a monument to wars, nothing to do with re-writing history.

IMO Von Braun should have gone to the Nuremberg trials, he did after all design and build the V2 weapons that were indiscriminately slaughtering British civillians in that war, yes his glory and acclaim as the best rocket scientist ever was stained in British blood, he was just lucky he was needed to continue that research at the behest of the americans and their space race.
