23. The most famous rocket scientist of all time was stupid

He was a literal Nazi!

"Wernher von Braun was a member of the Nazi Party and an SS officer, leading the development of the V-2 rocket for Germany during WWII. While he was an active member of the regime, historians often debate his motivations, describing him as a right-wing nationalist and opportunist who prioritized funding for rocket research over ideological alignment, rather than a devoted ideological Nazi."
