NASA's advancement in space flight technology astound me./s
In the early 60's we watched Atlas rockets launch Mercury capsules.
We would get out of class and go into the play yard at Sable Elementary in Eua Gallie Florida, now part of Melbourne.
Surely Nasa and the Air Force could have come up with better launch vehicles in 47 yrs.
The money was probably spent on social engineering instead of Aerospace engineering.

Don’t be ignorant. The only thing in common between the Mercury Atlas and the Atlas V is the name.

NASA has explained that they lost the technology to go to the moon, looks like they held on to their early sixties technology.

Leftist Statist climate change pushers.
