Elon Musk is an extremely freaky and bad human being but IMO he’s not even top five of the freakiest and worst people in the history of the US aerospace industry. This is a list with Werner von Braun and Jack Parsons on it remember

@liamvhogan He still has time
-
@liamvhogan Aaand that was how I learned who Jack Parsons was. Reading just the wiki page SUMMARY is making my eyebrows climb up to the top of my skull.
-
@vampiress there are some very fun books about him. John Carter’s Sex and Rockets is rollicking, with amazing asides (about L Ron Hubbard amongst others) and it’s a very friendly biography, but even in it he comes across as a thoroughly bad man
-
@RanTLaw @liamvhogan Howard Hughes is feeling relieved
-
@stufromoz @RanTLaw Charles Lindbergh doing the monkey puppet side eye
-
Take Charles Lindbergh and Curtis Le May, both had views they expressed loud and often, that are not only reprehensible to us now, but were reprehensible to other aviation and military figures in their own times
-
@liamvhogan or the automotive industry I expect
-
@fsvo @liamvhogan Henry Ford was a manufacturing genius. I won't be taking any further questions at this time.
