I have never understood why the US just turned its back on space exploration after Apollo. Expensive, yes – but at the moment of greatest triumph, when the country’s proper pride in its astounding achievement should have been unbounded, the impetus just sort of died – with no real regret, and even a kind of shame in some quarters. It was an eerie, defeatist sort of attitude. Not the US at all.
