I wouldn’t call landing on the moon a miracle per se. It was just a priority enough to justify spending huge amounts of money on it. And because we deprioritized scientific showmanship afterwards, our ability to repeat the same feat atrophied a bit (but not entirely). We probably could do a lot of space stuff in the next decade or two if we devoted obscene amounts of resources to it: establishing a lunar base, a bigger LEO base, putting humans on mars, setting up permanent satellites around many celestial bodies in our solar system. It’s just that it would consume so many resources for so long before it benefitted people on Earth - very hard to justify doing it just for the sake of doing it
