Questioning the Moon Landing

Gary North says "the most spectacular and most beloved peacetime boondoggle in the history of bloated government programs... achieved nothing of lasting value for the taxpayers – nothing that they would have paid for voluntarily" — Why I Missed Armstrong's Walk on the Moon.

John Derbyshire says the same thing, and "concludes that perhaps the uplifting, 'imaginative' functions of government should be limited to the 'low budget' variety" — Moon Folly?

Thomas Fleming recalls having been at the time "revolted by the hype" and "disgusted by the religious zeal with which Americans celebrated the technological conquest of space" — Lunacy: Our State Religion.
