Just goes to show what a little technology, faith, and teamwork can do. It is amazing to me that we made it through the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs without any loss of life in space during an actual mission. Instead of dismantling the Apollo program, it should have been studied and duplicated for its success. Seems like the shuttle, skylab, ISS, etc have been foobar by comparison, with the exception of the Mars Rover program which is just amazing in its success like our 60's programs were. Also Hubble is cool, and we should have a bigger one to replace it IMHO
