I had forgotten that Russia, and the Russians who live there and near there, have a history of revolution n warfare, and have inconveniently overlooked the fact that if they had not
fought the Nazis for Europe, some things might well have
turned out differently in Space... Imagine something with
a cargo-bay, like the shuttle, being loaded up with any
undesirables to be placed in low-Earth orbit…

I mean Hitler was crazy about himself and his abilities,
but he did build a hell of a war machine by getting his
scientists to come up with some interesting inventions…
or else.
