Support for moon missions was rarely a majority opinion among Americans. Interest especially faded after the first moon landing in 1969, the Apollo 11 mission. By the time Cernan went up with Apollo 17, NASA’s budget had shrunk and Americans were more focused on myriad issues on Earth, including the Vietnam War and civil rights.
“Enthusiasm about space flight draws not only from real achievements but also from the fiction that people are watching and enjoying,” she says. “I think we're living in a golden age of ‘Star Trek,’ ‘Star Wars,’ ‘The Expanse,’ and creative visions of what it means to imagine going into space.”
