We were not supposed to go to the moon! Years of building rocket infrastructure and yet nobody other than a select few people have gone to the moon!

Stop building rockets!

To be fair going to the moon wasnt about going the moon. It was about proving you could deliver mutual destruction wherever you wanted through general rocket superioririty

And yet very few people actually get to launch nukes these days. One rule for them and another for us.

Yeah I want to go to the shops and back faster than a trip to the moon thanks.
