My take is that it actually speaks to the incredible achievement. It was so unbelievable some people still don't believe it. I can certainly sympathize, given the technology at the time it seems far fetched that those aluminum foil vehicles made it to the moon. It's also somewhat suspicious nobody else has gone back, but I think China might be planning a moon trip next? The next landing will certainly clear all doubt.
- krapp 4y agoI think what seems the least believable nowadays isn't the technology but the long-term political and cultural cohesion that was necessary to make it happen. JFK said we were going to do something difficult and we actually did. Unfortunately, the US no longer seems capable of anything on the scale of a moonshot or Manhattan project or even Hoover dam. Except war, of course.
