We were 30 years ahead of everyone else. Dude, the entire friggin planet didn't watch Neil make that step to see us beat the Soviets....they had quit the race several years earlier.

Where do you suppose all the LEMs ended up? I'd sure like to get one. #21 dave, well you’re obviously right and 20,000 NASA employees were clearly bamboozled.

Ha!! -) It was incredible to watch... I hope we go back again and pick up the Flag we left behind and find the rovers we left as well... it would be interesting to see if the foot prints are still their from the origonal landings...

It amazes me people come to terms with the government lying over so many things but a bunch of ex-nazis and freemasons say they can perform space travel and everyone is totally sucked in.

Apollo and the Manhattan Project were the two most important scientific achievements in the history of man, so far. Man has dreamed of leaving this planet since man has dreamed. The guys at NASA made it real, thanks to a wake up call from Sputnik and those pesky Soviets. But in your financial 'analysis' what you fail to account for is how JFK's commitment to reach the moon (and come back) changed the nature of education in the USA. The result was a HUGE boost in science and engineering education that happened in the 60s. Those graduates drove technology to where it is today. We didn't need any NCLB, we needed a <i>reason</i> to learn. JFK did that. MikeN, you’re sadly uninformed.

Those moon rocks must be expensive! I think most of NASA should be shut down as a waste of money. The International Space Station was very close to being defunded, then NASA spread the jobs around the country, and it was never a close vote again. That can at least be defended as giving work to the Russian scientists, but the only return seems to be shuttle missions to fix it every few years. #6 Really, it has paid for itself?
