Frankly, I don't believe him. You'd have to show me how this book got published in German by a captured SS rocket scientist.
Also, he credits Kim to H. G. Wells, so his memory is obviously crap too.

Musk was born in 1971. Von Braun's book wasn't published until 35 years later.
(The appendix *was* published on the fifties, but that was the technical afterward, describing the science and engineering assumptions.)

slightly useful trivia! the Art of War was a genius step forward, addressing the biggest military weakness of Sun Tzu's time: "Most commanders are a 16 year old boy whose daddy just bought them a command"
it reads like a War For Dummies book because the intended audience is in fact a real dumbass

Wait a second, where are the reels?
How are we supposed to watch Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concert, or the AT&T science films?

Although I prefer the 1933 movie, The Private Life of Henry AI. The eight wives' differences are shown in stark relief.

I remember seeing very textured colored pencil works in older books and I love the look (I love paper texture).
I found this 1988 book on the technique, if you're interested in what I mean.

My friend, your post is exactly the same. It's a post about leaving Xitter.
You can hardly expect to find universal agreement about the merits of staying at a site that's declined so badly that the only reason to stay is inertia.

Mm, paddling as a punishment goes back at least to late 1800s schools, and probably back even further.

If I see A.I. art for a cover, i just assume the book was written with A.I. as well. I have no faith in that author.

Thinking on it for a bit, that trio makes more sense than plain old ego psychology.

Reading this, and the original post's replies, it looks like it's more of a Southern U.S. thing than in the North.
It does explain a Star Trek: Enterprise character.
