Alternative explanation: it's a hyperbole that recognizes, rather than mocks, the Apollo program.

- taeric 7y agoI agree it isn't mocking. It is an appeal to the goodwill the Apollo program had, though. Often used to gain extra respect for whatever someone is doing, even in failure. Worse, it is used to excuse and invent new practices that are not tried and true. Which is, ironically, exactly the opposite of how we got to the moon.
