Come on guys, get creative. This could be the best "discussion over beers" thread in ages.
We need something like the moon landing to focus the human spirit. Don't listen to the naysayers who say it's a waste of money, we need aspirations

Have a read about Operation Paperclip. The American effort in the space race with Russia was in part due to a number Nazi scientists who were involved in the development of the V2 rocket and then secretly moved to the US after WWII.

The majority of roads around North Harbour Industrial Estate in Albany are named after the space programme including William Pickering Drive but also Beatrice Tilsey, Apollo, Orbit, Constellation, Vega, Antares, Triton, Canaveral. Speaking to the developer they were originally going to be fruit to reflect the areas orcharding history but obviously a space nut got involved and full credit to them! Much rather work in Triton than Nashi
