    probably with some time delay, the germans love a good race (/s)

    apart from that, the military did some significant research into a lot of technology, including airplanes (and rockets), internet, nuclear energy.

      You failed to get the point I was making. Just because the military is a driving factor to technological progress, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing all of a sudden. And all that progress could also have been made by science. Wernher von Braun didn’t care who funded his research into rockets.
