Those dudes had HUGE balls going to the moon and back in a vehicle that had less computing power than my coffee maker...

I wonder why now that any kid at home has more computing power than the whole NASA at that time, nobody is capable of giong back up there [:/]

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

I know this has been discussed before on dorkzone, but the reason is very simple.

Money

Science(cool science like going to space) gets a lot less money than military spending. Because ICBMs were a big thing back then, the planets aligned and the dollars went to the cool stuff for a little while. Now we have global annihilation covered a hundred times over, so according to the money, there is no need to go to the moon or anywhere past 60,000'. Not even a tiny bit.

So we need a threat from outer space.
