If this were happening today, with a Republican President, as it was then, the media and the left would be pushing the theme of ‘can we really afford this?’, ‘Shouldn’t we be spending this money at home?’, ‘Was there negligence by the President?’, ‘What is the administration hiding about Apollo 13?’, etc. etc.

We were blessed back then to live in a Nation where our identity was to be an American. American’s going placed none had gone before. American’s doing the impossible as we had been doing since the Revolution. We came together. We were still mostly Christian. Our values were solid.

Heck, it was going on then too. Senator Walter Mondole HATED the space program and with Apollo 12 losing its camera, and then 13’s close call, that was it - the last 3 Apollo flights, 3 FULLY BUILT ROCKETS, were grounded - so that we could ‘solve poverty’.
These people have not changed a bit - the only difference now is that Trump is forcing them to show their true colors.
If it happened today, the story would not be about the astronauts, but about diversity at NASA and that only a transgender female muslim can do the calculations to save them.
