Yep. I agree with the guy.
We put someone on the moon and then decided that the next step was merely orbiting the earth so we could do lab work in a reentry vehicle.
Amazingly near sighted.

Then we ran back to the starting line.
For those who say we gained a great deal of knowledge from the Shuttle program, I say of course we did. But think of the knowledge we could have gained had we not stepped back.
