They also developed the technology that will cause nuclear hellfire when the US empire decides to start using it. All that technology could have been developed by a peaceful entity but instead was used as PR to whitewash the atrocity of nuclear weapons development.

You know NASA was founded over a decade after Manhattan project right. And that first ICBM came from the soviets, not from the USA. Also before NASA was founded.

JPL is not a NASA center. It's a non profit lab that supports government functions. Its not even civil service. It's kind of like Aerospace Corporation, which is another example of a gov-affiliated non-profit that can support a variety of gov functions. You're way off on this. Also, DARPA is DoD, not NASA. JPL is owned by CalTec really. NASA does not own JPL. NASA wasn't even stood up well until like 50s or 60s. It absorbed NACA, which might have led to this confusion. However, those people were working nuclear propulsion for space flight, like the NERVA rocket. Science should be considered sacred. Say what you will about the US, but NASA is a good org. It's just crippled by stupid greedy assholes that take all it's money and go over budget right now.
