/sci/ - Science & Math

von Braun wasn't a genius. his engineering ability was arguably not impressive, as he and other German engineers stole a whole lot from Americans. I don't care what he believed. he definitely lied to save his own ass though, and married and had kids with his cousin.
He's a guy that thought space was cool and was a Nazi which everyone thinks is a cool aesthetic so he gets this pass that he really shouldn't be given because he was okay, not great. his engineering style was to create many redundancies, mostly for safety, so not performance driven at all. if he wasn't an engineer or scientist, he would have been hung like the rest instead of being operation paperclipped.

it's about 20% from what I read, and American whites have comparable to the vice versa.
>Then why are the top sprinters nearly all of west african extraction and not spanish or greek or german when those countries have far more wealth to invest in athletic development programs?
kids who show a lot of athletic prowess in Jamaica are PUSHED into sprinting. their culture sees a lot of pride in it. Do Germans have that? They don't but if they did, they would soon also be good sprinters. Cultures put emphasis on different areas of expertise. They have a tiny economy, about 1000th of the USA, maybe they are so much about sprinting because what else are most of them going to do? That's pulled out of my ass, but why not? fewer opportunities in their shitty little racist sexist, weed smoking country, why not just try to be some famous sprinter? I don't need money to do that and my culture supports it 100% so it's a good idea for me. etc etc...

You have the burden of proof. The scientific community doesn't agree with you. You haven't proven anything, as you'd have a Nobel to do such a thing against all odds.

you can't even define "upbringing" to claim thats what I said, because it isn't.
