Climate campaigners consistently claim that it is oil companies' fault we didn't massively decarbonize in the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s. Because surely the fact that it would have huge costs to electorates and tiny upside had nothing to do with it https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02093-7 …pic.twitter.com/L7DSrvTOvp

Also, NASA pushed Apollo to the moon with a firehose of money. We built a limited ability to mount expeditions into the void. We did not build actual space flight capability. The Shuttle didn’t either. A technology requires an ecology. We are on the verge of one.

Apollo was a campaign of the Cold War. It convinced the Soviets not to go toe-to-toe with the USA in a technology. Concorde/TU144 reinforced that lesson and extended it to all of the West. Apollo is why the Soviets feared the SDI. They thought we could make it work.
