Moon landings were just another day at the beach then, I guess. Silly me.

Yeah, which of course is not remotely close to anything I said.

Can you find a point and stick with it, or is that too much to ask?

I do love how you answered your own question, though:

Americans were even complaining that the astronauts were interrupting I Love Lucy episodes. And that, dear boy, is why we don't want to go to the moon anymore. A few years after 1969, Americans were already bored with it. People in the U.S. don't care about it, and convincing tax payers that it's a good use of resources would be impossible (because it isn't a good use).

And another:

And no other country wants to hang their hat on the moon either?

Doesn't make sense. China is planning to, as is India by 2015-2020 (in 2008 they sent their first unmanned mission, but they lost contact with the probe). Other countries are planning to as well, including Japan.

Could you possibly be right about ANYTHING for a change?
