A well defined objective, successfully completed, is a well-defined objective terminated.
What a fantastic mountain of effort, focused dedicated enthusiasm, and skill-sets, left adrift and carelessly abandoned. I have read schematics of some Apollo entire sub-systems, have completely disappeared.
And then there is the decades long disappointment. We see few Shuttle posts on HN.

The shuttles, while a marvelous achievement of engineering, were ruined by the politics around them - so many different mission profiles they were designed to do that nothing was left that could be done practically. And yes - going to LEO is not nearly as inspirational as going where no one has gone before.
