Yeah, that makes sense.

things changed, you know that. we made the goal. hoorah. mission ACCOMPLISHED.
in the meantime, while we were landing on the moon, we were also bombing cambodia. there was a gas shortage, etc........hello new world. priorities changed, spending 5% of the budget on going to the moon just to take pictures of going to the moon was no longer a priority. |
