Stephen Curry is pretty sure the moon landing was faked, just in case you cared

IIRC Von Braun initially worked for the Army. That was when he developed the Redstone and Jupiter missiles, which were the descendants of the V-2 program. All this was pre-NASA. The US Government (not Von Braun) organized NASA from its predecessor agency, the NACA, as you note.

We also scooped up a lot of very capable Canadian engineers from thee Arrow supersonic fighter program that got canceled. A lot of them went to work for NACA at Langley. I remember the stories of the locals in the Tidewater area calling them the NACA-nuts.

Speaking of lunacy, and the moon...

We have known for centuries that the moon is made of “green cheese”, but discount it as a child’s fable: Such is the power of The Purloined Letter Principle. It is a cover in plain sight, used by the International Cheese Cartel, that brings immediate ridicule upon anyone who tries to seriously point out the truth.

What is not general knowledge is the fact that ‘green” refers to NEW, unaged, cheese; not to old, moldy cheese!

The moon is the Cheese Cartel’s repository of the excess new cheese that would otherwise drag down the artificially high prices of cheese; and serves as an emergency reserve.

WHERE DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD GET THE CHEESE THEY DISTRIBUTE???

The moon always appears the same size, because the Cartel adds or subtracts cheese, as needed, on the FAR SIDE, where nobody can see the changes as it’s piled up, or excavated for return to the earth.

This has been going on ever since Algorba the Moore accidentally discovered how to construct a cargo carrying flying carpet, while trying to create the Philosopher’s Stone, in 450 AD.

It also explains why nobody could ever find Judge Crater, or Jimmy Hoffa’s body. Rumor has it that Amelia Earhart accidentally stumbled across one of their operations, and was taken there, plane and all.
