I think so too. I guess we'll see if Artemis and the Mars projects give us anything exciting!

I don't think about enough but it makes me pretty certain we could create more spinoff effects by simply doing more ambitious things. I'm not sure we could recreate the urgency or justify the same level of spending, but there's something there.

I really liked that as well, it's amazing how many things we use today came about because of the moon race all those years ago. It's also a little bittersweet when you start thinking about where we could be now if the real timeline was a little closer to the show.

My favorite part of that show was showing how space programs can cause tech acceleration/spinoffs.
