The space race was the program to demonstrate, in a highly visible and publicly

acceptable and popular way, that the nation had developed the launch-weight

capacity, navigation accuracy, and guidance precision to be able to plant a nuclear

warhead anywhere on Earth at will. The science was useful but secondary.

For evidence to support this seemingly cynical hypothesis, look up and ponder NASA's

funding in 1965-1970 versus the size and direction of its appropriation for 2010-2015.
