Abstract:
The last Apollo mission to the Moon was flown in 1972, capping a ten year effort that was criticised during the decade as a “mad effort to win a stunt race,” a “moon-doggle,” and equally harsh terms. Similar evaluations are heard today: Rogers, for example, argues that ”the civil space area has demonstrably failed to provide a satisfactory direct economic return on the expenditure of over hair a trillion dollars (sic)”.
