Just think: it took less than a decade to go from absolute nothing with the creation of NASA and Kennedy's perception, to putting men on the moon. In the 1960's. Think how far we could have gone by now if we'd never stopped... Mars in the 70's, the outer planets by the 80's... growing colonies on Europa today? No more need for fossil fuels? But no--because that money was better spent on social reform projects.
