Intelligence of the population peaked with those born in 1972. Until then many factors such as improved nutrition, prenatal care, and a high social value placed on intelligence kept the median intelligence of newborns going up. Something happened in the early 70s to reverse this trend and the median intelligence of each year's population has decreased every year since. This is for the United States but I wouldn't be surprised if similar peaks happened throughout the west over the following decade or two depending on local conditions and legal policies.

Space travel was a priority in the 60s because it was linked to nuclear weapons.

Math is overrated. Look at Faraday vs Maxwell. Our culture idealizes Maxwellian types, whereas the genius and actual ideas lay with Faraday. Math is explanatory, no more.

Space exploration is inherently white. Notice how even now the only people really making a difference in space exploration are white men.

Kind of hard to focus on space travel though when anybody with enough money to do so is a corrupt degenerate or a member of a cult. Not to mention the popularization of anti-white rhetoric. Race/class war really slow shit down.

Well for starters, the objective of the Moon landing was not to create a space-faring nation but to simply touch and go, the rest of the Apollo missions where basically leftovers of the infrastructure and budget until people started to turn around public spending in the 80s and NASA had to answer with the space shuttle which was a fiasco. So one way to see it is that you asked the fat kid in class to compete against the slightly less fat but autistic kid to see who could reach the tip of a tree first, and yeah they made it once but they are ill-prepared to do it regularly since they never actually prepared for the task they just wanted to be first and forget it.

In the end, you have to ask yourself if this is what people really want. Not only comes as a consequence of public pressure to balance budgets and promises of reusability and private investment but also from one simple fact: People do not care that much about space, transcendence or science, yeah it's nice to say it but to say that people care about space would require actual proof.

Like imagine if you cut public transportation, you would have protests, unions and a media backslash, but NASA has been making miracles for decades and the only thing it has received has been promises and no public outrage, and from the point of view of people, have you seen any actual investment? Like people abandoning their jobs and laser-focussing into STEM and investing a huge part of their money into space projects, nope, the focuss at the start of the century has been feminism, climate change and such and the only surge we ever had was with spaceX which can be considered a huge NASA PR stunt to try and captivate the population again with the spirit of the 60s, which taking into account how it only has resulted in more investment from the private sector but not that much from the public we can say that it has failed.

Because we do not care, we just want to buy our space tickets

>jewish power
Okay so I get it, jewish people like to pull tricks with the power they get. There's lots of nepotism, lots of pulling strings, lots of corruption, that's plainly evident.
What is also plainly evident, though, is that the people with power who are abusing it in the ways you would typically ascribe to jews are not all jewish. In fact, the vast majority of the people pulling those strings are not jewish. That's not to say jews aren't overrepresented, of course they are. They're a highly insular ethnic and religious group with apparently above average intelligence. There is clearly something to examine in that.
My point, however, is this; if most of the people peddling the "jewish tricks" aren't jews, then by constantly yelling about specifically jewish tricks while ignoring the larger problem of people with lots of money and power abusing it, by doing that you are doing a disservice to yourself.

You are like the negro, upset at the state in which you live, holding a 'black lives matter' sign and shouting that all cops are pigs, that the police must be the source of all the problems in the world and in your community. Maybe there is injustice, maybe what your community truly needs is police accountability, and to weed out those who might abuse their authority. But sadly your movement is self-defeating. Whining about racist cops isn't going to lead to any meaningful change, it's just going to make you look like a would-be criminal. "Stop shooting black people" isn't an actionable policy stance for the legislature.

You are perfectly able to tackle the real problem, but you continue to whine about a consequence of it instead.
Killing all of the jews wouldn't solve the problem of corrupt politicians and businessmen, it wouldn't safeguard against people further abusing their positions of money and power. All it would do is shuffle the look of the little symbol you put next to their names on the infographic.
Because power corrupts, jewish or not.

This is not exactly about going to the moon but the entirety of development happening in all fields.
I've seen engineers and programmers on the internet pat each other on the back for not studying more after work, software is degrading. There's many lazy people writing error messages as "something went wrong, click ok" and thinking he or she is working 'smart'.
Look at what websites are becoming, these large single scroll sites with like one button on every page. Its retarded and more tools get taken away as software gets more bloated.
I've seen two middle aged guys related to my family degrade completely, one's a doctor and another a surgeon, going home after work and not doing anything. One plays video games from the moment he comes home while his wife watches netflix. The other is incredibly depressed, smokes cigars while his 6 year old daughter watches minecraft and creepypasta videos on her ipad alone in her room throughout the day.
I saw a youtube video of some guy having finishes an undergraduate degree and never learning git, he did not even know what it was. It was obviously in America which from an outside perspective practically seems like a third world country now, but like how do you manage that surrounded by people learning the same field and with endless resources on the internet.
We live in a privileged time, a fairly peaceful time where technology just simply gets better and works but civilisations throughout history have forgotten how to do things and technology has entropy.
It's how public education has degraded too. I remember in first grade when I was 6 we learned arithmetic, writing and using simple computers. The things we used to learn weren't colourful with funny pictures or made to be fun but that started to happen as I got older up until 10th grade.

I mean why should they today. There's no feeling that nobody is working towards anything good anymore, just making some guy richer. I can't imagine how many stupid Karen-tier people the doctor has to deal with daily either or what the surgeon has to fucking do at times.
You want to learn how many of my friends (all born before 97) read? (garbage doesn't count). 1, largely because I managed to get him into it, and easily one of the smartest stem types I've known.
It's not even just science that's going down, lets see where philosophy is. Still arguing about Hegel and dividing the entire field between analytical and continental categories like a bunch of retards. Holy fucking shit. Shut up. There's a few urbanomic-tier stuff that's interesting but so much of it is just "look I am being random, look at all my crappy neologisms that will never be used again".
The math I got in secondary education was sub-par, just some person writing what's already in our books on the white board.
People are now controlled by algorithms so they watch more pornography or read another tweet or whatever. It's fucked.
