...true meaning of the moonshot lies in the moment. A given moment is all one can be entirely aware of, can fully experience. During the actual shot, the what would happen was still essentially unknown, a true probe in the imagination; the space capsule could have yoyoed the moon and whipped off towards the sun on a screaming tangent. But more importantly, only we, observing the space shot at the moment it happened, can fully understand the extent of human knowledge, mythology, and curiosity at the time of the experience...
