That the main objective was simply to beat the Soviet Union and not space itself. Which tells you how stupid today's imbeciles who want to go to mars just because it's cool and "SCIENCE FUCK YEAH" truly are. If you look at history, people don't do shit like that for some abstract motive like we mush push the barriers of space exploration, but for practical reasons. And there are no good practical reasons to waster resources on mars.
