I'm sorry, but the goals of NASA and the Nazis are very different. The scientist that worked for Hitler or on the Hiroshima bomb probably knew what they were working towards and belived those goals. I don't know for sure since I'm not one of them, but the point trying to be made is that NASA is an organization dedicated AFAIK to scientific discovery. I doubt that any rational being would sacrifice their life and the lives of every other person on this planet for scientific discovery. Assuming that it was a real risk.
