Think of how much the concept of space travel captivated America for decades. It was one of the main frontiers of television, inspired numerous songs, and created generational defining media.
When America went for GDP and convenience over awe inspiring goals we lost the luster that inspired millions. The same way we look at historical buildings over brutalism and modern shit shows. Innovation died because of capitalism gone rogue min maxing fiat currency over actually building anything.

dude, please, just stop. we all know the CIA hires people on the regular, or just plain brainwashes them if they don't feel like paying, to type the exact retard shit you are typing now. if you're the latter, watch any one of 5000 amateur, not-government-affiliated scientists/mechanists on YouTube proving a million and one things about space tech. hell, go play Kerbal Space Program with a realistic planet mod, see if you can't go to the moon yourself under the exact delta V constraints we had IRL.
if you're the former, though, we all know what you should do.
Lol you're gas lighting
Pull up a picture of the moon rover. Do it. High resolution.

It's a shitty, poorly performed Psy-op. When you're over feeling embarrassed for believing in it, you can return here and have a good laugh with all of us about your former gullibility.
this is mongoloid thinking, so i can only assume you are in fact a dalit currently typing from your residence in a garbage-filled ditch.
He's 100% gaslighting you and it's pretty gross.
