Haste

The Apollo program was done very quickly.

September 12, 1962; Kennedy says we should do it.  At this point the Saturn portion of the stack was well under way with two launches already accomplished.

Things accelerate starting in October 1968.

Five manned missions in 10 months each proven another step in the plan, including the completion of the first whole mission.

In essence, zero to the moon in less than 8 years.

How many years have we been dicking around with the shuttle's replacement?
