The space program that led to the moon landings was not led by dreamers, or anyone convinced that it was our destiny. It was spearheaded by propaganda and a need to prove superiority, and it was realised by experts all too aware that it may well be impossible.

Took the Bay of Pigs fiasco off the front pages and the humiliation from East Germany when he was stared down by Kruschev and on the backs of the US space program publicly going backwards and routinely into flames at the launch pads.
