America landed the first humans on the moon in 1969, 57 years ago. Doesn’t it seem odd that we are now saying that we are “going back” to the moon?

On July 20, 1969, the first human being in history, American Neil Armstrong, set foot on the moon. In 300 thousand years of modern humans, no other nation every accomplished this feat. It was something that only dreams were made of. I remember the day it happened and how it took every American’s breath away. I remember exactly where I was and how proud I was to be an American, the nation that makes things others only dream of become reality. To this day, 57 years later, there have only been 12 humans who landed on the moon. All 12 were Americans.

And they did it with computers that have only a tiny fraction of the computing power in your cell phone!

But the odd part is that you would expect that 57 years after that greatest accomplishment in all of human history, we would be talking about a lot more than “going back” to the moon. With all the advancements in technology since then, wouldn’t you have expected to be way beyond repeating the same thing America already achieved 57 years ago? Yes there is talk about Mars next. But wouldn’t you have expected that to have happened years ago?

Have American’s lost the sense of adventure and leadership that made us the greatest nation in human history?
