You know, that's what I don't get. Yes, the Apollo project cost billions of dollars; but it's not like we took several boxes of cash and shot them to the moon. The money spent (except for hardware that's no longer around) STAYED RIGHT HERE. Something like 400k workers on the project; all getting paid. Seems like that'd be a jobs program I could get behind.
