Sad to think that the brilliant engineering and technological breakthroughs that allowed the U.S. to put men on the moon 50 years ago was squandered. Had the US continued with a manned moon program, we would be celebrating 25 years of manned moon bases and have made at least flybys to Mars.
The first moon landings were not done by NASA either. They were accomplished by NASA contractors.
