I find the "moon shot" business kind of humorous. It was a huge government program that cost 152 billion dollars in today's money, most of which benefitted huge areospace corporations, and it went on coincidentally with the Vietnam War and social upheaval in the USA that made the present protests look trifling. And other than not having some Moon rocks, what would have happened had the USA not gone to the Moon? The next move in the space program was the Space Shuttle and then the ISS along with further hundreds of billions, and where are now? Except for the handful of people who have been to space, we are all still stuck on Earth with Eudaimonia.
