My main question about the moon landing: how much of it was luck that the mission was successful at all?
Technology: what was the time line between from starting the design process to landing on the moon? How many years did it take?
I can't see why the moon landing can't be repeated. Even if the original designs were destroyed, newer technology must exist.
And why not use the moon as a staging center for Mars, then Mars for Jupiter, etc.
Hell, Stanley Kubrick has already been to (a moon of) Jupiter, and at that one year earlier than Armstrong's landing on the moon.
