Exactly right. We put people on the moon and we did it without grinding 8 year olds with hours and hours of homework.
These parents are absolutely relentless on their kids. It's a really sad expression of 'keep up with Joneses'.

Do you mean that typical NASA engineers, astronauts, and other hard-working and gifted people involved in the Great Space Race, typically were not intensely trained, but just had all childhood time full of playing?
