A brilliant Nazi and a bunch of gung-ho engineers with slipsticks - working from scratch - vastly outperformed the resultant multi-$billion bureaucracy wielding the largest most sophisticated computers on the planet - and that already knew a working answer.

Stupid without a computer is still stupid with a computer. There is no triumph of mind or labor that cannot be destroyed by professional management.

Special Relativity (SR) is a self-consistent geometry. It cannot be fooled, cheated, embezzled, excommunicated, politically redirected, or otherwise avoided. No human-scale mass can be given a relativistic velocity, by the book.

One then needs better, more inclusive physics in which SR is a restricted subset subject to disjoint finesse. The only predictive and testable physical theories that tolerate such are Cartan's teleparallel spacetime, Weitzenb?ck's affine spacetime, and string theory's heterotic component.

Somebody should look. All three predict that local left and right hands do not vacuum freefall identically (parity summetry breaking of the Equivalence Principle). Uncoupling inertial and gravitational mass can finess SR because it operates outside one of SR's founding postulates. Then, zoom zoom.
