Yes, I'm imagining without JFK's Moon Speech to inspire America, it just kind of falls by the wayside. I'm thinking maybe NASA is still functional and has most of the technology to at least get an empty rocket into orbit, but never got the funding for actual astronauts.

Claim some of the nuke tests were actually secret space tests, etc.xhonzi said:

Capricorn One, I'll have to rent that. Sounds good in general.
