moon landing viewpoints...idealogy or generational?

OK I have noticed that many liberals point to the moon landing as a pinnacle of US science while conservatives ask what was the point.

This can easily be applied to science and even education in general where one group believes that an ideal of discovery will bring success to the culture while the other needs a actual benefit to the work being proposed and that this benefit will drive discovery.

So my question is two fold..

1)which one are you and is my hypothesis accurate for you?

2)Is my original observation accurate or is this more of a generational separation?

    More like many Liberals don't even think we went there, it was an elaborate Hollywood movie hoax...

    I'm conservative, I'm sure we went there, and it was a good thing for us to do. Too bad that NASA has had their mission to improve Islamic relations by Obama, or something.
