You already had one. They just misplaced some letters.

DEI
DEI insures we no longer have the right stuff, only the correct color stuff
Space 1999 UK tv series was based on it.
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It’s Californication
Space may be the final frontier
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderaan’s not far away
It’s Californication
I've personally watched dozens of interviews from Apollo astronauts.
My father, who didn't work for NASA, but worked in the Missile program at SAC, and then went on to work at Lockheed, before going into the commercial satellite business, "believed" we went to the moon several times.
And he was just as much of a perverse, ornery MF-er as I am, so if he had thought anything that was being claimed was not possible in any way, I would have heard it.
But, yeah, I'm completely convinced by your weak BS.
Yeah right I hear ya. I got through electrical engineering with a slide rule and an occasional borrow of my roommates’s HP45. :-)
50-years ago NASA had scientists and engineers...
Today it has DEI-indoctrinated dodos...
I understand you are not aware of what happened here.
This was a massive propaganda campaign by NASA.
Now you have to dig deep to find what they buried.

The money quote is near the end:
“You might get the indication in the movie that these were the only people doing those jobs, when in reality we know they worked in teams, and those teams had other teams,” author Margot Shetterly explained. “There were sections, branches, divisions, and they all went up to a director. There were so many people required to make this happen. ... But I understand you can’t make a movie with 300 characters. It is simply not possible.” -Space.com
I worked on teams during my career—in fact I recruited and trained people for those teams and was generally regarded as one of the leading subject matter experts in the country in my technical skill. I literally “wrote the book” of instructions for future workers....
—and they never named a building after me!
I'd like to add that the NASA culture of the 1960's and 70's were tight - as in so similar in style, tastes, educations, moral upbringings and shared mission orientation as to be seen as clones by today's diversified, socially fractured and purposely-taught-to-feel victimized generation of engineers who'd do better by learning from that era's chain-smoking, white-shirted nerds who got people to the moon and back with less computer power than today's average cell phone.
The real explanation is quite simple. Concorde lost money every time it flew, and eventually British Airways & Air France tired of writing the big checks needed to keep it in the air.
Apollo cost half a billion for every flight, not counting development cost. Congress stopped appropriating the money to pay those bills. No bucks, no Buck Roger's. Very simple.
What else do we humans expect to learn
about our moon that we don’t already know?
You already had one. They just misplaced some letters.
If I had been black you wouldn’t be able to visit a building lobby or a men’s room in my former company without tripping over a statue of me....
Lol.
Then add to that offshoring of software engineering and testing. Like most big companies, Boeing thinks good enough—at best—is more than adequate to get the job done. My last company, also a Fortune 100 company, has its documentation done in India and its copyediting done in Romania. Good enough, at best, again.
Ha!
No one’s been to the moon
In 1982, Built my first PC was a Z80, with a whole 64k of ram. (that was all the 8 bit processor could address.)
I still have it.
“DIE?”
You can take that one to the bank.
After having been involved with a couple of NASA programs/systems in the past when I was doing research, I can certainly understand why it very likely won’t be NASA that goes back to the moon. They are gun shy from their two shuttle disasters and the resulting CYA bureaucracy isn’t equipped for innovation or success.
