We can’t go back to the moon at current because of all the industry and knowledge that was destroyed and no longer exists.

Kennedy made the landing (and retrieving!) of a man on the moon in his 1961 inaugural address. We got there in 1969. That’s less than 10 years and while we did have an aerospace industry, they were pretty much starting from scratch. There weren’t moon-rocket factories, lines, parts suppliers in 1961 and yet we somehow made it happen. We can’t seem to make it happen now. There was a ‘can-do’ attitude in the nation that seems to have been lost.

And slide rules. They used slide rules for the math.

Have you noticed that a liberal/progressive will argue against anything that strengthens America with it would ‘take too long’, and/or ‘costs too much’, but anything that increases government control or reduces freedom is ‘if it saves just one child’s life...’

“We can’t seem to make it happen now.”

I guess you are out of the loop, but we are going back and in less than 5 years.
