Good Feelings. The World over. "We came in peace for all mankind." Americans loved it. The astronauts went on tour around the world. Everywhere the people said "WE" went to the Moon. Live TV from the surface brought everyone together no matter where they lived. The world was one. Can we ever do that again?

80% of the world population either saw it on TV or listened to it live on radio -- AND TOOK PART -- together - in 1 endeavor. This one.

This is Eagle, the Lunar Module from Apollo 11 moonshot, July 20, 1969. A similar picture from Apollo 8 called Earthrise showed only the Moon and Earth rising behind it. At the time everyone said, "Don't worry about pollution. Man is small. The Earth is big." Earthrise showed differently. Earthrise jump-started the environmental movement, which didn't exist until NASA released that picture. Without NASA, there wouldn't be an environmental movement. Here, man is shown in front of the Moon which is in front of a very tiny Earth. The whole planet is nothing more than a little, blue marble.

At the time of Earthrise, a telegram to NASA said, "You saved 1968." --from turmoil and hate. STEM can do things like that. And more.

A vibrant NASA space program involves nearly every field of scientific research and technological innovation. It needs specialists involved in innovating extremely tiny transistors, reslilient materials, antennae that can handle amazingly vast distances, analyze Earth's magnetic fields and upper atmosphere. It gives jobs to Americans from every state in the Union. It studies the Earth: The upper atmosphere, stratosphere and above, has been COOLING some 2 full degrees in the last 2 years. This has allowed satellites in orbit to be freed of atmospheric drag as the atmosphere contracts while cooling. Yes, Global Cooling is occurring - and in a big way. 2 full degrees of cooling in 2 years is major.

We went to the Moon on 64K of computing power. Not Gig, not Meg, ... K.

Because of the space program, we have a technology-based economy. And ONLY because of space exploration. Next gen computers, VR tech, sat TV, cell phones, smart phones, industrial and medical imaging, enhanced weather forecasting, cordless tools and apparati, bar codes, even dustbusters! All NASA money went directly into our economy and produced a lifestyle for all of us far better than it would be without space funding. NASA RETURNS to OUR economy as much as $100 for every $1 spent on it. Let's see ANY other government program do that. And because of the flow of money, all that space money flowed to 5 times as many people as originally received it.

Congress almost cancelled manned spaceflight. They were believing that the billions of 1960s dollars were disappearing into outer space. Of course they weren't. They were spent here, keeping 420,000 Americans at work in nearly every state of the union. The machinery went. The money made America better than it ever was. And the natural economic movement of money throughout the economy gave all that money to 5 times MORE Americans than just the immediate space program recipients. America is totally different today than it ever was before space travel. Just ask your smart phone.

Outer space and space funding is instrumental in giving us the lifestyle that we all enjoy today. Without it, we wouldn't even have useful ambulances. Our very lives depend upon space. NASA has saved more lives than anyone or anything ever in the history of the world.
So how'd this machine get here? See Apollo 11 Liftoff and the other ancillary photos.
