The following statement will not answer your question and I remember I have
already posted it a few months ago, but anyway:
In his last book "Time Travel in Einstein's Universe" Princeton
astrophysicist J. Richard Gott claimed that the achievement of Saturn 5
might be comparable to the Great Pyramids of the Egyptian Pharaoh's. Two
masterpieces of engineering, that will never be built again. Two windows in
time that shut down abruptly and never opened up again. Gott thinks, the
abandonment of Saturn 5 is more than a shame. It's an enormous mistake and a
setback for space colonization which he believes is a main factor for the
survival of our species.
I will never forget how Saturn 5 left it's mark on me when I was 14. It
opened my mind for everything that now has to do with transhumanism.
