DBWI: If Apollo 11 wasn't a tregedy?

Sorry to necropost, but I definitely think the cultural landscape of the seventies would be vastly different, with an overall more optimistic attitude then what we saw. The deaths of Armstrong and Aldrin due to the government trying to cut corners thanks to corporate influence led to already immense distrust in the government and big technology corporations growing huger then before. Also, the US would most certainly had a better international opinion.

Also, we probably wouldn't have gotten Monty Python's infamous Stuck in Space sketch.

(OOC: I presume Apollo 12 was delayed until the 1970's here)
