I have a deep respect for what they did. I just wish that We (the US) could get back into space with the same type of effort/enthusiasm again.....

I agree that would be nice, but at this point in time I would much prefer a similarly funded, inspired, no-holds-barred program to achieve U. S. energy independence within a decade. Such an effort would be far more demanding and complex than the space program (and not very interesting to watch on televsion), but I'd like to see some of my tax $'s invested that way.
