Friday was the anniversary of the first moon landing. Tax dollars were well spent, as they were on Voyager etc. Hubble.
A salute to all involved in Apollo. May we soon return to the moon...at will and in numbers.
We sent men to the moon while sending conscripts to an ill-thought-ought overseas war. While disrupted by racial and generational turmoil. While in a half-century sumo match with another superpower. It's a glib claim that the country is not what it used to be, but such assessments are properly left to history.
Back when technological progress was characterized by the space race, the foundations of the Internet were being laid.
A salute to those who persevere in obscurity.
