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.

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.

This probably isn't an argument worth pursuing, but since you were so uncivil with the other poster, I'll bite. I was born in 1946, the first year of boomerhood by most definitions. That means that at the beginning of the Apollo program I was 14 and at the first moon landing, 22. If I was the oldest of boomers, then the 10's of thousands of scientists, engineers, machinists, etc., you are speaking of were younger than 22 at the first moon shot. So, I assume that you are referring to workers who came in near or after the first moon landing. Is that the idea?
