    This is only true because capitalism is limiting technology

    Capitalism is trying as hard as possible to replace people with machines, but there are a lot of jobs that machines simply can’t do.

    to landing on the moon

    Hundreds of millions of people paid the equivalent of thousands of dollars each for a dozen men to be able to walk on the moon. “Walking on the moon” isn’t some activity that anybody can do now. It was effectively a stunt to show that it could be done

    Capitalism dictates that profit means everything.

    Only in the eyes of communists.
