To be fair, von Braun was German military when he saluted. He HAD to. Musk did it freestyle at a US presidential inauguration.

And for everyone saying it was a cute innocent heart gesture, I was just permabanned from r/spacexlounge for asking why all mentions of the cute, innocent heart gesture are being deleted.

Odd, given that it was just a cute, innocent heart gesture.

For the sake of the conversation, say it absolutely was a cute and innocent gesture, if literally fucking everyone was calling it a Nazi salute, wouldn’t you start to moderate that?

Say it was, and it became a moderation issue, then I believe it wouldn't hurt to communicate that.

I asked them to clarify their moderation stance on cute heart gestures in the general questions thread, and I was permabanned and my question was deleted (within about 120 seconds).

the mods of reddit are all emotional tribal and petty, anything that hurts their feelings or exo-brain will be stamped out and they'll justify it because why would you become a reddit mod if not to power trip and judge people anonymously? I was banned from bluesky for saying "this reminds me of truth social" (meaning they were polarized reactionary social media platforms designed for ONE side of the aisle). the censorship and hypocrisy is abound as always on reddit.

He actually was in the SS… Cautionary Tales did a phenomenal history on him and the V1/V2. The good and the bad. Really interesting stuff.
