That’s actually crazy. Any internet archive is bound to also contain less savory parts of it which could be removed on request. Such a blanket ban doesn’t do anything to solve the issue while simultaneously making people’s lives worse

Anybody got a paywall-jumping link to Part 2? It's a bit of a cliffhanger even though we all know how the story ends.

I hear they made a movie about it.

That was an exceptionally good read. Would also love a link to Part 2.

If you like this style of story telling, I'd highly recommend the BBC Apollo 13 podcast https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p083wp70

A vast majority of the last names in this article are German. Seems like Project Paperclip all over again.
