America has had many bad ass events. The moon landing is definitely up there. it's a real shame they don't invest in the space program as much anymore and science in general.

Particularly when one compares DoD funding compared to say NASA funding. But... one has the capacity for profiteering and is used primarily for securing limited global resources and the other is largely limited to increasing scientific knowledge. Until the latter becomes a legitimate profit producing entity, it's a much harder sell than the former.
