Apollo 11 Forty Years Later: Thank You
ByThe history continues to be written, the stories continue to inspire us, and the yearning to take flight to the stars never dies. Â For all those involved in the Apollo program and our space program generally, we Hooligans thank you.
It was a glorious time. I had the honor of working for NASA during the Apollo program. As a science fiction fan and an electrical engineer, it was my dream job.
Alas, the government dramatically cut back on the space program during the seventies and I was forced to go on to other things. It’s time we went back to the moon and, THIS TIME, beyond.

“NASA is socialist program Ralph.”
No Shadmarsh, NASA is a space program run by a socialist government.
Say, now that you’re a candidate for mayor, please elucidate Asheville’s space program under your administration.

Apollo and Dionysus [audio]
by Ayn Rand | Ford Hall Forum | 1969
http://arc-tv.com/apollo-and-dionysus/
This lecture, delivered by Ayn Rand at the Ford Hall Forum in 1969, concretizes the issue of reason vs. emotion via an analysis of two contrasting events of that year: the glorious achievement of the Apollo 11 moon flight and the mindless mud-wallowing of the Woodstock rock festival.

Well of course Ayn Rand would deliver such hogwash. She had rear view vision. Nothing more.
