Another reason for the early cancellation of Apollo that I remember hearing at the time was that the American public had simply got bored with it all. Watching grainy black and white footage of a man bouncing around on the Moon on live TV (again!) as you make the breakfast waffles - big deal.

There was also the matter of a minor skirmish down in South East Asia that many politicians were far keener to fund.

I remember going to Plymouth Museum and seeing a piece of rock in a glass case, with a card that said it was moon rock, so it must be true.
