It's over. Apollo flew, the money was spent, and then it was done.

We celebrate what happened.

Let's say someone's daughter got pregnant out of wedlock. There might be bitching, moaning, arguing about costs, lectures, tears, more griping.

Once the kid is born it's embraced. There is no more bitching, moaning and arguing. It would be foolish to the point of being almost sick.

It's natural that the successes of the Apollo mission be remember. It's the winners who write the history.

The Republicans have fought ever social change we've had, Workers Compensation, Civil Rights, Social Security, but no one remembers that. Republicans claim now to have been great supporters of those things. Wouldn't have happened without 'em.

As I said, the winners write the history. We celebrate what happened, we don't keep on crying about the costs. (Which were enormous. Not sure it was worth it, really. I don't think we know much more now than had we stuck to robots.)
