Does it matter at all whether Buzz Aldrin and the others walked on the moon? I know what went into the moon landings, not just from reading books and watching documentaries. But the point is that we are no longer sending men to the moon. Sure, when you see Jupiter in the sky tonight, you can remember that there is a NASA spacecraft orbiting around that planet. And when you see Saturn, remember that another NASA spacecraft is near the planet and preparing to go into orbit around that. That's fine in itself, to think that the solar system is crawling with spacecraft everywhere. But we aren't sending men to the moon these days, and it doesn't matter that we once did.

It does if you are using a computer. Especially a laptop or PDA.

The Moon shot made miniaturization mandatory. Otherwise Freepers would need to add onto their homes to house their 500Hrtz/10kb computers.
