NASA Requests Help With Von Braun's Notes
DynaSoar writes "NASA is soliciting ideas from the public on how best to catalog and digitize the collected notes of Wernher von Braun. 'We're looking for creative ways to get it out to the public,' said project manager Jason Crusan. 'We don't always do the best with putting out large sets of data like this.' The PDF notes are those of rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, the first director of NASA's Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville, Alabama and are typed with copious handwritten notes in the margin. According to the official request for information, NASA needs ideas on what format to use (PDF), how to index the notes, and how to create a useful database. The unique nature and historical value of the data, literally discovered in boxes six months ago, is what motivated NASA to ask the public for ideas."

of massive spending bills being rammed through Congress without anyone reading them and with no informed debate. Latest case in point: Waxman Markey. What was the rush, really? We couldn't have at least two weeks to discuss a 1000+ page law that touches every sector of the economy and fundamentally changes the way energy will be produced in America? We couldn't have any time to vet it for unnecessary pork, likely avenues of fraud, and unintended consequences? This is the same kind of bullshit the Democrats accused the last Republican congress of committing. Change my ass. The only thing that changed was the face. The same petty partisan bullshit is occurring, and the American taxpayer will be left holding the bag yet again. Fuck you all for believing this interloper was an actual agent of change instead of a puppet.
But the USA did also a deal with the Japanese and covered up Unit 731 deeds to become the sole owner of this Biological Warfare knowledge.

some might call it a pact!
Mr. H. Oberth said to me that he was satisfied when WvB died (of cancer) before him.

An infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters typing for eternity will surely reproduce the works of Von Braun. Or is there a deadline...
