Boomers can take credit for the space program since about 1985.

I agree with you in principle. I was 23 yr old and in graduate school in 1969. Hadn't paid any taxes to speak of. My dad worked on life systems for Apollo. So, I can't take any credit for the space program to the moon.

As for the space program after 1985, not sure I want any credit, thanks.

There were tens of thousands of engineers, tool and die guys, scientists, you name it, that did work Apollo that fall in the catagory called boomers.
