I agree it was ahigh point for man that day, to bad is was fleeting.  What NASA has become since it has dismantled Apollo is really pathetic.

As one former astronaut stated regarding defunding the apollo program,he said ( paraphrasing here) "It's like building a rolls royce from the ground up, but then deciding not to use it because of the price of gas"

Space programs would do this world a great deal of service. Humans could really begin to graps that we are all much more alike than different, We are all on his little beautiful rock together, and together we can prosper or perish.
