Today the moon landing is celebrated as one of the greatest achievements in the history of the United States. However, a lot of people don't realize that at the time it happened there was a lot of protest and civil unrest over the amount of money being spent on a moon landing. A lot of citizens felt it was a waste of resources when there were poverty issues in our country.
