The 50th anniversary of man’s moon landing is here, and it appears there are two camps of people: those who care, and those who don’t.

For most of my life, the feat of putting a man on the moon was more of a punchline than anything, useful for pointing out the absurdities of modern life. We put a man on the moon, but vending machines still can’t handle credit cards? We put a man on the moon, but automatic toilets still don’t know when your butt has cleared the seat? And so on.
