Re: Rosetta & Philae
For Apollo 11, I was at summer camp. The whole camp was allowed to stay up late & watch the landing on what was large at the time color TV. The information that was available "real time" was certainly a lot less. Being in 4th grade at the time, I did not realize the magnitude of the feat. Since the moon race was a much bigger program, I don't think it totally fair to compare them. The concept of systems engineering was largely developed to send people to the moon.
While we were not in a shooting war, the whole moon race thing was driven by the cold war.
