    True, but also I feel like that’s small potatoes by comparison.

    And also I feel like it’s related to the publicity of the thing that is supposedly a conspiracy. with the sr71 nobody even knew to look into it; with the moon landing, people were following the very public demonstrations every step of the way.

      Also the difference in wow factor.
      Its “we are making an even faster, better and more stealthy plane than all the previous ones we have” vs “we are convincing the entire world that we are leaving our actual planet to fly through space and land on the moon”. One of these is a significantly more juicy secret to impress someone with.
