The truly unique historical event uniting all humanity in one vicarious and extraordinary legacy. . .
Our journey to the stars is the sequel to this legacy
![Page 12: 100 yss kathleen toerpe - from the moon to the stars -track 3](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103013/5406caec8d7f7288088b47a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Narratives need to be nourished
• Only 50% of Americans surveyed in 1999 could identify Neil Armstrong as the first man to walk on the moon
• Only 39% of Americans surveyed in August 1969 were willing to finance a mission to Mars
to commit to a new act of faith & vision
