Safe Is Not An Option

via Instapundit and Amazon review here.

A question popped up in my head as I read the review.  What if Apollo 13 had happened on Apollo 11, and they didn't make it back alive?  Would the nation have just up and quit because manned space flight was deemed to be too dangerous?  Or would it have continued despite the risks?  I'd like to think we'd have continued, but it may not have happened that way.  We've been retreating across the board.  I've found evidence out there that the civilizational retreat began at just about that time (1968).
