“Why is it so hard to land again” is only a question if you ignore how Apollo actually worked. We did not lose the ability. We stopped funding the program. Apollo was a massive national project with 400,000 people, a blank check budget, and a Cold War deadline. When the political goal was met, the money and workforce were redirected.
Modern missions are not trying to repeat Apollo. They are trying to build sustainable systems, reusable landers, long duration habitats, and deep space infrastructure. That is a much harder engineering problem than a short term flags and footprints mission.
If we wanted another Apollo style landing, we could brute force it the same way we did in the 60s. The challenge today is not “we forgot how.” It is that we are building something bigger, safer, and meant to last. The difficulty is a sign of ambition, not evidence of a hoax.

We’ve become a society of impulses, instant gratification and avoiding short term boredom times (that gives us space to self reflect, self analyse and self regulate the excessive information we are daily bombarded with).
We are becoming more like an NPC.
Albert Einstein said: “Creativity is the residue of time wasted.”
Now we live in a generation where we never give ourselves the opportunities to be bored. The boredom time for us to look inwards and think for ourselves.
That I personally believe, is a sad reality of existence.

Zachary Wood is a hero. He invited to campus controversial speakers with whom he disagreed, only to see them disinvited following student pressure. I deeply despise students who believe education should offer them comfort rather than make them think
