If you’re a listener to the bonus episodes of “If Books Could Kill,” listen to this podcast next. If not, just listen to this podcast. They debunk a recent (last year) article about the lab leak hypothesis. It is fascinating. Lab leak is SO MUCH WEAKER than proponents would have you believe!

A lot of people know about the Germans in the space program, but the more relevant engineer might be Qian Xuesen, the MIT/CalTech aerospace professor who co-founded JPL and was sent to recruit the Germans. We deported him the 1950s. He became the leader of China’s missile program.
