I teach a little American culture including a session on the space programme, and one question to get a response is why the landings stopped in 1972. I ask students to critique the popular cultural ideas that either Apollo was a hoax or alternatively that NASA never stopped going. I rather like the second one but expect that the real reason is just governments' passionlessness and greater stupid interest in the military and power relations.
What do the students think? Most of them are already looking back at their phones... Nihilism isn't the word.
Hey I'm making it towards the end of day one over here!
