*One of the slides quotes Wernher Von
Braun<http://www.operationpaperclip.info/wernher-von-braun.php>,
a former member of the Nazi Party and SS officer. Von Braun, regarded as the
father of the US space
program<http://www.operationpaperclip.info/wernher-von-braun.php>,
is not being cited as a scientific expert, rather he's specifically being
referenced as a moral authority, which is remarkable considering that the
Nazi scientist used Jews imprisoned in concentration camps and captured
French anti-Nazi partisans and civilians to help build the V-2 rocket, a
weapon responsible for the death of thousands of British civilians.*

* "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 [emphasis in document] more than
anything else," Von Braun said upon surrendering to American forces in May
1945. "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." [emphasis in document]*
