Nasa,s gonna love it.

Not always true, some of the America major technological advancements comes with those ex-Nazi Scientist who were given a choice to either face the rope or work for them , V2 rocket is one of the many example which was the baseline for all Ballistic missiles of future .

Stay in the present and his statement is pretty close to accurate. The first steps to learning is the acceptance of facts and/or reality check.

they don't know history else they would not be screaming about "immigrants" in the first place

Actually in this example you mean major German technical advances came from the help of an American.

NASA Celebrating 90 Years: Robert Goddard’s Rocket and the Launch of Spaceflight

Less than a century ago, astronomers relied entirely on ground-based observations to further scientific study. Today, descendants of that first liquid-fueled rocket provide eyes on cosmic phenomena, unravel mysteries of the early universe, and even take a closer look at what makes our own planet tick.

None of this would be possible without the experiments of Massachusetts physics professor Robert Goddard, best known for inventing the liquid-fueled rocket. The namesake of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, he dreamed as early as 1909 of creating an interplanetary vehicle. While he couldn’t achieve that in his lifetime, his inventions in the first half of the 20th century became the engineering foundation for the rockets that first took humans to the moon in the 1960s and for today’s rockets, which look further into space than ever before.

Prior to Goddard’s experimentation, rockets had not changed much in several centuries. Chinese engineers invented them as war machines in the 13th century, using solid gunpowder as fuel. But Goddard realized that liquid propellants offered a number of advantages over solid-fueled rockets. He began to test rockets fueled by liquid gasoline and liquid oxygen.

The new design posed a number of challenges. For instance, he had to find a way to mix the fuel with oxygen. Otherwise it wouldn’t burn fast enough to produce the necessary thrust to lift the weight of the rocket. He also had to find a mechanical solution to pressurize the fuel chamber so it would continually feed fuel to the engine. Each solution he found brought with it a new challenge to solve.

After nearly 17 years of work, Goddard successfully launched his creation on March 16, 1926.

"...Before 1939, German scientists occasionally contacted Goddard directly with technical questions. ... Goddard confirmed his work was used by von Braun in 1944, shortly before the Nazis began firing V-2s at England."

The world’s largest airplane took flight for the first time ever on Saturday morning.

Stratolaunch, a 500,000-pound plane with a 385-foot wingspan that is built to send rockets into orbit around the Earth, lifted off shortly after 10AM ET from Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, California.

The inaugural flight is expected to last a few hours. It comes just three months after Stratolaunch Systems, the company behind the effort, laid off “more than 50” employees and canceled efforts to develop its own rockets.

The duel-fuselage Stratolaunch is designed to fly to an altitude of 35,000 feet, where it can drop rockets that ignite their engines and boost themselves into orbit around the planet. The company has already signed at least one customer in Orbital ATK, which plans to use Stratolaunch to send its Pegasus XL rocket into space.

The road to today’s launch involved a number of incremental tests over the last few years, including the initial rollout and an engine test in 2017, and a number of taxis down the runway in Mojave at various speeds.
