They've been able to hit Alaska, Hawaii and Seattle since 2009 and nobody gave a shit.

    Those of us who were seriously engaged in the war were very grateful to Wernher von Braun. We knew that each V-2 cost as much to produce as a high-performance fighter airplane. We knew that German forces on the fighting fronts were in desperate need of airplanes, and that the V-2 rockets were doing us no military damage, each impact killed only six people on average. From our point of view, the V-2 program was almost as good as if Hitler had adopted a policy of unilateral disarmament!"
