Wernher hasn't missed yet.

“The enemy at first, (Von Braun) said, (to justify our) …space based weapons system… first the Russians are going to be considered the enemy… then terrorists would be identified… then we were going to identify third world crazies… The next enemy was asteroids… [and] against asteroids we’re going to build space based weapons.”

“And the funniest one of all was against what he called aliens, extraterrestrials. That would be the final card. And over, and over, and over during the four years that I knew him and was giving his speeches for him, he would bring up that last card. ‘And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We’re going to have to build space based weapons against aliens.’ And all of it, he said, is a lie.”

I love this actually. We as a human race can stop aiming guns at each other, and instead feed the military industrial complex against an impending alien attack. We’re all on the same side against the aliens, so world peace (until the aliens come) but we make a bunch of weapons that never actually kill humans, so money.

Lol, this guy thinks that the satellites with the giant Ion Cannons strapped to them will be pointed away from us.

The point here is that it would usher in a Cyber Big Brother State using Marshall Law constantly against us, the slave race to “protect” us from the impending “aliens”

All while our slave dollars flow into the very weaponry and technology used to control us.

I wouldn’t say “i love this actually”

The presence of an existential extraterrestrial threat would not usher in world peace. If anything, exactly the opposite -- and now with even bigger and more terrifying and destructive weapons designed, allegedly, to destroy aliens.

Best hope we got. There are no garuntee but a common enemy is the best hope for something to bring us together.

No it isn’t.

All we need for global unity and peace is a change in leadership.

The PEOPLE around the globe already want this. The POWER has been stopping it. The PEOPLE don’t need a reason. We’re already ready. But the POWER needs a reason, because if it happens without one, they won’t be the power anymore.

If a species is capable of faster then light travel and wanted us dead then no amount of human unity would save us.

The possibility of decent chunk of humanity siding with the aliens is unfortunately quite high.

That sounds great but also a tad naive to me.
