We didn't just copy the rockets from them though, their leadership was absorbed into the highest levels of the U.S./NATO military/intelligence/scientific communities. I feel like the NASA stuff gets all the attention while almost none is paid to the mind control (definitely alluded to in GR) and biological/chemical/nuclear warfare research. (In paranoid conspiracy circles I've even heard some ~interesting~ questions posed about Thiel's family background!)
