The Year that was Saved

Watching The Race to the Moon, about Apollo 8. Some quotes:

I think when you go out on the edge like we did sometimes the rewards are things that you never even anticipate. This was the one time when I saw that everybody in the world seemed to admire what we had done, and it was for a peaceful purpose.
Valerie Anders

'But for Frank Borman, the most memorable accolade came from a stranger who sent a four word telegram. "Thanks," it read,"You saved 1968."'

When did we Americans go off balance? Where is our boldness and sense of wonder and adventure?
Comments:
My opinion is that Americans find all that in TV and Movies.

If they choose for Real, they then have to imitate TV and Movies.

So?
