the race to put a man on the moon was another level of the fight against the global threat of communism. there were many blunders and wasted dollars because of the "need" to outdo the russians. we've since left the moon which is widely considered the hub to furthering our space exploration. so the minor accomplishment is overshadowed by it's reasoning and application.
