I'm not really sure what we're supposed to discuss about these two people. One's a Rocket scientist/engineer, the other is in Geosciences and planetary sciences. Two very different fields of science. The only similarity is that they both worked for NASA for part of there careers.
So... yeah... Anything you'd like to add to the discussion to get the ball rolling there LJB? Because I think we're all a little lost as to what you're attempting to show us all here.

Uhm, ljb,
I'm sorry, but you have not presented us with anything other than 2 names, and links to their bio's, and a title that says "Two Super Moon Men".
Exactly what is it that you want to talk about? One built rockets for NASA, and got his start in Nazi Germany. The other was a scientist that was busted for trying to sell secrets to Israel.
What is the connection you are trying to make? I'd gladly give you an opinion, but I have no idea what it is you are trying to say in this thread.

Who does that?
So you see the topical subject in this thread so far is the OP. We have nothing but street ally riddles of what is supposed to be discussed so how is a direct reference to the OP not on topic?
It is simply all we have besides history and just looking over and seeing zero applause credits, limited time under poster name (i wonder why), and no direct statements about facts to repute aforementioned 2 people, is the classic troll post. If you don't understand why it is nothing is asserted by the OP, saying street-talk anecdotes to IMPLY a stance but never stating it to have to eventually defend.
That is Sallly girl debate tactics, coupled with forcing research from parties who wish to engage, and still yet not stating a point to debate.

Apparently not, other than that they both worked for NASA. What else is there?

That explains the lack of topic and senseless ramblings.
Are you going to present a coherent topic, or what?

Well for starters one was a spy or at least he fancied himself as one.
Did you read up on him?
The other was an engineer and inventor. A REAL rocket man.
With all the space knowledge you possess you didn't know this?

Yes, I did.
I still don't get the point of this thread and the comparison you are trying to make between these two. Nobody is getting it. This should be a hint to you, that you need to elaborate on what it is you're trying to discuss here.

One wished he did have dual citizenship.
Do you know which is which?
Can you muster a rational answer?
Should either of these guy's award's be stripped away from them?
This topic is endless and current and old at the same time.
Are you afraid to talk about these men?

Yes, Von Braun of course.

I know that Von Braun became a naturalized citizen of the US, but I don't know if he still had his German citizenship by that time.
One wished he did have dual citizenship.
Do you know which is which?
I'm guessing Stewart Nozette?
Can you muster a rational answer?
Can you muster up a point to your thread yet?
Should either of these guy's award's be stripped away from them?
No, why should they be stripped away?
This topic is endless and current and old at the same time.
If you say so. I think it's confusing and lacking a clear point.
Are you afraid to talk about these men?
That's a weird question. And no, we're not afraid. But no one knows what to talk about, regarding these two people. I'm just about done with this, if you don't come up with a purpose or a point to this thread.

I guess it is my fault to a degree that I can't get the links proper.
But there is no excuse for not realizing that these TWO MOON MEN
have absolutely stunning credentials. Are you aware of any of them?

"We knew that we had created a new means of warfare, and the question as to what nation, to what victorious nation we were willing to entrust this brainchild of ours was a moral decision more than anything else. We wanted to see the world spared another conflict such as Germany had just been through, and we felt that only by surrendering such a weapon to people who are guided by the Bible could such an assurance to the world be best secured.”

I know who both of them are. What I don't know is what this topic is even about. What about them?

Yes, who doesn't know who these two are?
Von Braun and his brother surrendered to the Americans because he would have rather had his invention be used for good rather than the evil the Nazis were using it for.
In fact, here is a quote from him.
"We knew that we had created a new means of warfare, and the question as to what nation, to what victorious nation we were willing to entrust this brainchild of ours was a moral decision more than anything else. We wanted to see the world spared another conflict such as Germany had just been through, and we felt that only by surrendering such a weapon to people who are guided by the Bible could such an assurance to the world be best secured.”
Now, what the hell is this thread even about?

You must think all ATS members belong to your WE're club and know all the answers like (you-all)???
It seems like what your answer implies is that this forum is an exclusive one.
At least we see that you think, that a traitor should keep the awards.
Do you care not whether there was actually any pertinent info passed to the Israelis?
Do you know or care how long Wernher was held as a prisoner of war??
Are you not interested in his death?
