While that was true for LBJ's generation, I doubt it is for the current generation. A year or so ago Jay Leno on his "Jay Walking" stint came across a young college graduate from one of California's esteemed state universities, and asked her how many moons Earth has. Her answer? Five.
This only begins to point to the scope of the problem we're dealing with today.

Oh, I agree. There is nothing to indicate that the American people would once again bristle at the thought of a "Communist moon". After all, "we" gave Bill Clinton two terms in the White House, elected Hillary! and came unbelievably close to electing Al Gore. Clearly, much of the electorate is comfortable with Communists.
I also agree that education is so lacking that we could not engage in another real "Space Race". We could sure crank out some whiz-bang "Artist's Conception" computer-generated graphics for the networks to use, though. No more space capsules cut from construction paper wiggling towards a construction paper moon.
