I think we've all become to numb and jaded. This is the first moon mission in 50 years and the furthest any human has ever been from Earth.

Indeed, the world is so grim these days that I welcome even a little bit of relief, a little bit of hope for a better future.

More than that, people today seem to be saturated with sarcasm.

It's especially tragic with younger people who seem to have no experience with handling genuine sincerity. They laugh nervously at it, as if they're unfamiliar with how to handle someone saying what they actually think and feel.

It's fully scripted. The hokum is pre-planned.

		The questions from the news agencies and their responses are not scripted. I encourage you to listen to the Q&As the astronauts and ground crew had during the mission and judge their character on that. You won't find any public figure / politician with any amount of media training that even comes close to their level of genuine humanism, humility, and professionalism.
