Neil Armstrong isn't hiring people living in the third-world to "achieve" something that contributes nothing except bragging rights and has at this point been accomplished hundreds of times.

If you're comparing someone climbing Everest in 2017 to the moon landing you have your head so far up your ass that you'll probably never see light again.




You missed my point and twisted my words.

I never said the accomplishments are equal; just that they were both accomplishments that required money and resources for the people to succeed.

Just because something requires money to accomplish doesn't mean it's not an achievement. You don't spend money and ride an elevator to the top of Everest as you and others try to suggest.

It's a challenge and an accomplishment any way you slice it.
