History lesson: What was 'Operation Paperclip"?

When Elon Musk's Starship V-3 blasts off, it takes with it the ideas of a man who developed deadly rockets for the Nazis. Wernher von Braun utilized forced laborers to build his V-2 rockets, tens of thousands of whom died in the process.

Tens of thousands of Jews, Gypsies, Communists, French resistance fighters, and other POW's in German control were used as slaves inside the mountain tunnel at Dora to build Hitler's V-1 and V-2 rockets under the direction of Wernher von Braun. After the war the US brought von Braun and his rocket team and 100 V-2 rockets to create the Pentagon's military space program. NASA was used as a shield to make it appear it was a 'civilian program'. 

von Braun was brought to the US by a top-secret military program called Operation Paperclip that seeded the entire US military with about 1,600 former Nazi operatives. Did they bring an 'ideological' contamination with them?

Despite his bad history, the US made von Braun a star following World War II. Without this SS officer, there would arguably have been no moon landing, and today's space craze would look quite different. 

Musk's company SpaceX is now traded at the Nasdaq exchange. Co-founded by the polarizing entrepreneur in 2002, the rocket startup has since expanded into a major satellite operator and has also folded in Musk's AI company - xAI - which includes the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

Hegseth on ‘controlling space’

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth speaking in Denver, Colorado as part of his recent 'Arsenal of Freedom Tour' declared,  “We’re leveraging the best and brightest, the most talented Americans to ensure that we do deliver space superiority and space dominance. We are running as fast as we can on Golden Dome to deliver for President Trump because we must defend our homeland. The fight for space is the fight for the future of the world as we know it. We cannot afford to have a fair fight in space — I’m not interested in orbital equity or orbital parity. We demand orbital dominance plain and simple. Whoever controls space controls the fight.”

Reading Hegseth's comments above makes it real clear that von Braun's work to create first-strike attack military space vehicles for Hitler is just what Trump's war department currently envisions. Their goal is space and Earth 'control and domination'.
