If you can't beat'em, Join'em... or.. maybe in this case it was more like the Gov't. When they wanted to learn about rockets, they grabbed all the german technology and scientists they could! Didn't matter that we had been at war with'em..

Who better to catch a "thief".... LOL..

And it used to be "pushing the envelope".. Not cheating. Just working within the spirit of the rules right?!?!
