All the stuff in the USA named after Von Braun doesn’t surprise me.

Really interesting to see all the stuff named after Philippe Pétain in the USA. Looks like it was banned after him in the 1920s-1930s due to his role for France/allies in WWI. Then he became a Nazi collaborator later.

Good reminder of why you shouldn’t name things after people who are still alive.
