Lots of these folks were NOT the good guys who "fled their homelands for the U.S. during Hitler's reign." The US and the USSR grabbed whoever they could grab from the Nazi V2 programs at the end of the war, and neither was too fussy about who had used slave labor, etc., etc. Lee's original point is true of the nuclear weapons program, but not the space program. Einstein, Fermi, and many others had been driven out of Nazi- and Nazi-occupied Europe. R
