What do you remember?

I remember working graveyard at North American in Downey on the Command Module and going to school in the day

I remember the single minded commitment to beat Russia to the moon

I remember an America with a 'can-do' mentality where we Americans could do anything

Unlike today where we cower before the so called "mighty" Chinese Ha!

You lived off of tax dollars.

We sure did. The Soviets weren't able.

Yeah, that 'throw enough tax money at it' mentality. The Adlai Stevenson/JFK political ploy of claiming we were trailing the Soviets. And all the while the conservatives of that era were futilely attempting to interject some reality into the debate.
