How is what you said even vaguely a rebuttal of the idea it was showy propaganda with minimal scientific value?

Why is such a rebuttal needed? The fact that the space race was about propaganda first and scientific and engineering advancement second is baked into the conversation. Does it apply more to the moon landing versus other parts?

And they did science on the moon.

your comment reduces to “it was of minor scientific value but a propaganda win” which is exactly what I’m saying.

It's four sentences long, why are you reducing it? I was agreeing that this meme is cope. You're the one who moved to that framing.
