It was not so much opposed, but there were people , largely in the (social improvement belt) who felt it was a gigantic waste of money, and indeed should have been throttled back ( as it was after several Moon Landings) on economic grounds alone. Some saw it as a grandstand play for the Armed Forces- to draw attention away from Vietnam. I am not sure but it is plausible that Martin Luther King may have raised his opposition, being preoccupied with Soul and social issues.
