The space race was part moral crusade

How so? I seem to have missed or forgotten that aspect of it.

The space race was part moral crusade part engineering miracle, driven by said crusade and commitment, so was the race for the bomb- same can be said is needed here. It sometimes takes a moral crusade to drive the engineering.

Excellent parallel. The politics only begins to move, in situations as extreme and large as the global warming issues when moral crusades appear. That's precisely what Gore is attempting.

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
