Yet somehow we effortlessly went to the moon and back again in 1969 with absolutely no hiccups and pretty good TV imagery, even though we can't broadcast from halfway around the world today without interference, and we can't figure out how to get to the moon - somehow we magically did it all in 1969. What a time it was to be alive back then.
So are you ignoring Apollo 13? How about Apollo 1? And what are you on about not being able to broadcast from halfway around the world??? Do you watch evening news, because I see reports from all over the world on a daily basis.
I was just exaggerating the way that the moon landing was presented to us back in 1969. If you weren't there you probably wouldn't understand how 'without a hiccup' was exactly the way it was presented to us. I'm sure there were hiccups on a grand scale, but they were mostly kept from the public.
