As much as I think Musk is dumb and shitty, von Braun was personally aware that concentration camp slave labor was being used to make his rockets and continued anyway. According to some prisoners, he also ordered corporal punishment of slave workers and had a hand in selecting who was fit to work and who would be sent to an extermination camp. However, we can’t say for sure because of lack of documentation.
Even if we assume that the prisoner allegations are mistaken identity or whatever, I think directly being in contact with and benefiting from the Nazi death machine is quite a lot worse than Elon.
von Braun didn’t give a shit where his labor was coming from as long as it allowed him to do his research. He knew who he was working for, and he knew what they were doing.
Possibly, but it went deep. You can tell a series is already flushed when their best actors start disappearing. Losing Jason Isaacs, Michelle Yeoh, and Doug Jones was already a death sentence; pile Wiseman, Latif, and Rapp on that and it’s scarcely worth a funeral. This was sour behind the set.
You could kind of feel it when their budget went down the tube and they started phoning in the script.
I feel like they had a really good opportunity to foreshadow Lorca being from where he is by making him say Von Braun instead of Musk.
It’d be one of those “of course this guy thought an SS officer was a good guy!” Moments
Is there really that much difference between an Operation Paperclip nazi and an Apartheid emerald prince?

Von Braun was good at rockets
also Elon was not actually involved in use of slave labour or bombing campaigns
Lol. This was Season 1, Episode 4.
The problems with their shitty-ass script certainly weren’t budgetary.
Maybe budget allocation. Gotta have a big CGI space battle, right?
