These Future Predictions were WRONG
What happens when scientists and futurists predict the year 2000… in the 1960s? In Popular Science, Walter Cronkite chronicled the state of science and technology in 1967 to project what life might be like in the 21st century. Cronkite and the prognosticators actually got a lot of it right… and some of it they got…

The $2,000 FaceTime Box From 1987 (VisiTel Video Phone)
Do you know about VisiTel? Video calling technology is such a mundane feature of smartphones now that it would be weird if a device *didn’t* have it. But the idea for the first FaceTime is buried deep in vintage tech history, all the way back in the 70’s… the 1870’s. And most people hated the…

In my opinion, you should have said the cache also contained documents pointing out that the end justifies the means. Or at least they were making the case for a Machiavellian justification for their behavior. Oh, and that was a nice “Fine-tuning” argument at the end there. To what purpose?

I was assured that it was a bunch of sassy black ladies crunching numbers that got us to the moon.

It is! As well as many other moving parts just as vital to the process. There’s a reason the saying is “it’s not rocket science,” because when it is, it really is.

Never heard about this but I did figure the german scientists that defected during/after the war had a lot to do with the scientific advances in the US after the war, and having people that actually understand the subject matter is probably more valuable than having technical documents you don’t fully understand. And yeah, I’m not surprised that the US was only looking out for its own best interest before and during the war. It’s what nations do (in so far as the US is a nation, that’s another topic) and nazi germany was no different: they were left bankrupt after the first world war so they decided to reject that reality and substitute their own. Wars are pointless things that make perfect sense, especially when you take into account that people do pointless things (like going to the moon).
