Maybe we should stop naming things after a man who was not only a nazi, but a uniform-wearing member of the SS? A future-looking project should leave such things in the past.

Maybe people should stop living in the past, naming after nazi doesn't necessarily mean supporting nazi.

There's a difference between supporting nazism and choosing to honor a nazi, sure, but we shouldn't do either.

>choosing to honor a nazi

Not even that, using that name, doesn't necessarily mean to honor nazi.

Are you implying the name could be referring to a different von Braun? Or are you denying that Wernher von Braun was a nazi?

Von Braun was a nazi but doesn't necessarily mean by using his name is to honor nazi action.

...I literally addressed this two comments prior:

"There's a difference between supporting nazism and choosing to honor a nazi, sure, but we shouldn't do either."

Using von Braun's name isn't "honoring nazi action", but it is honoring a nazi. Not sure where this isn't connecting with you.

I didn't realize that concentration camp victims were building rockets?

Wow lots of downvotes for asking a question.

Maybe do a bit of research before asking a question that is both trivial to discover the answer to and which is phrased in a way that can be interpreted as dismissive of just how horrible the conditions under which von Braun's slaves were worked.

even when it is honoring nazi, doesn't necessarily mean honoring its action.

even when it is honoring nazi action, doesn't necessarily mean honoring its bad action

Even nazi can have its good side.

I called them victims, rather than inmates or something, so I don't agree that my phrasing was in any way dismissive.

Actually no, nazi action does not have a good side. Nazism is bad, through-and-through. Any benefits it purports to have for the people it doesn't kill is predicated on the murder & oppression of the people it does kill. You are a nazi apologist and should think long & hard about why you believe these things.
