Is this how Apollo felt? Overwhelming mundanity of life pushing it out of the news, not to be celebrated except in moments of tragedy and total success - and then gradually forgotten as the success continues?

(Yes, I know this is an unmanned preliminary thing. But the timeline is in full swing now!)

No. Apollo was front page news. It was the US National space program. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 12:00
