You bet your bippy we went to the Moon.. and drove cars there.. (moon buggies) - they are still there.. and a golf ball too..

The Saturn V also launched our Skylab.. all 85 tons of it.. into orbit back in the '70's.. it had the volume of a 3br house..

The engineering specifics for Apollo were worked out in the early '60's.. and the Shuttle's origins too date back to the 60's.. it was called Project Dynasoar.. Recall too that the SR-71 (Blackbird) came from that progressive era.. and to this day remains the fastest.. highest flying jet aircraft.. one flew DC to LA in 64 minutes.. Look here: SR-71 Blackbird

Consider too.. how intricate the moon flights/missions were.. and no one was killed.. yes.. the computers of that era were bulky and primitive.. but.. they were rapidly improving.. Now think of the shoddy Shuttle.. it was bastardized from the original plan.. blame the penny-pinching repub's.. they wreaked havoc on the most shining example of America.. NASA.. and have steadily trashed science.. welcome to the new dark-ages..

Jules Verne wrote a novel.. "From the Earth to the Moon" - look it up.. also was a movie based on it.. these days look more and more like Verne's book..
