The heart transplant took a lot more effort and knowledge than a moon landing.
How long did it take NASA to go from start to finish on the moon mission? Not very. How many lives has it changed? Not many. How much has it changed history? Not much.
Again the moon landing is a trophy event for an empire. It's not a history changing event. To suggest otherwise is to feign the gift of future telling.

The good thing is NASA has also worked on that: LINK

Artificial Heart - The technology used in space shuttle fuel pumps led to the development of a miniaturized ventricular assist pump by NASA and renowned heart surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey. The tiny pump -- 2-inches long, 1-inch in diameter and weighing less than four ounces -- is currently undergoing European clinical trials where it has been successfully implanted into more than 20 people.

You really want to keep on going down this road, because I can go on with various devices that were built on NASA research and technology. Devices that have been developed by NASA and their spinoffs have saved millions of lives. How about you quit while you're behind and just admit that you were wrong and that you'll listen to people smarter than yourself, which pretty much consists of this entire board and humanity at large.

You treat your own speculation and opinion as fact. It's abrasive.
