The great American satirist and singer-songwriter Tom Lehrer passed away this summer, more than half a century after he quit making music because “political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize”. It’s one of many great anecdotes about Lehrer who, incidentally, was also a fellow mathematician. I have a special affinity for this song about Wernher von Braun as the lines “‘Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That’s not my department’ says Wernher von Braun” are often quoted in discussions around ethics in cybersecurity.
