"For All Mankind"
This TV show is an alternative history in which the Soviets landed a man on the moon before the USA did. It includes this howler: von Braun says he originally intended the V2 to enter low earth orbit but was ordered to make it a ballistic missile. The show could have used a science advisor.

Not necessarily the truth even in that timeline. As the show demonstrates he, along with the NASAs engineer's father, were morally compromised. You are right about a lot of dubious science, but I still love the show.
