We live in a world where the greatest scientific minds all agreed that the ice caps would melt by 2010. And yet with primitive technology in the 1960's managed to take a rocket, land on the moon and fly back on their first try. Not in the least related to the propaganda machine against Russia. Not by a country renowned for falsification reporting events like how the Vietnam war started...Nooo...

I don't think that Apollo 1 went as well as you remember.

I'd hardly call any NASA attempt at flight much of a success lol
