RE: Are we really supposed to believe that in 1969 the US landed a man on the moon ?

Likely because "safety precautions" were thrown out the window in 1969, in favor of just "getting there first." Now we have a bunch of "geniuses" in a basement full of computers trying to figure out quadruple safety redundancies before we even start building anything.

Like my old Windows 95 system was far more stable than what I am working on today... even though my current computer has 1000x the computing power.
