Boomers grew up inspired & enchanted by the Gemini & Apollo lunar projects.

AI Overview

What Was the Gemini Program? (Grades 5-8) - NASA

The Gemini and Apollo programs were two pivotal human spaceflight programs undertaken by NASA. Gemini served as a crucial bridge, developing the technologies and techniques needed for the Apollo program's ultimate goal of landing humans on the Moon. Gemini missions focused on long-duration flights, orbital maneuvers, rendezvous and docking, and spacewalks, all of which were essential for Apollo's success. Apollo, in turn, built upon this foundation, achieving the historic first lunar landing in 1969.

Then again, maybe a bunch of them believe the lunar landing was faked. IDK? Is that CT still out there?
