We can all agree most religious people are nuts

That's pretty funny, considering that Bitcoin itself is pretty much a religion at this point

At least it isn't about some magical man from the sky that can make something out of nothing.

When it comes to making something out of nothing, I'll take cosmology any day. Problems? Fold in moar dimensions!

Plus, we've been to the moon, and still no man from the sky.

Yep, we've been there about half a century ago. Thanks to the tremendous technological advances over the past 44 years, NASA is currently pulling 40-yr-old rocket motors out of mothballs in hopes of duplicating that magnificent accomplishment ... sometime. Maybe. Unfortunately Wernher von Braun (who was in no way a Nazi y'all, well maybe the tiniest little bit, does being SS-Sturmbannführer even count?) won't take us there this time around, he's dead. RIP.

For those not familiar with the true father of American rocketry, this world-renowned rocketeer is best known for his visionary V2 (Vergeltungswaffe 2 -- Vengeance Weapon 2). This engineering tour de force provided plenty much-needed lulz to the bored civilians fortunate enough to experience this exploding marvel first hand.

After the war, grateful America scooped up bits & pieces of V-2s {which were built in underground factories by slave labour), along with grinning Von Braun & his team of merry pranksters. V-2 became our beloved Saturn, and its creator & co -- the brains & guts of NASA. And yes, the engine NASA's pulling out of the mothballs? It's THAT engine.
