was a policy mandate by two competing governments that caused us (as a
species) to do the work to get there.
Correction: it was a policy mandate plus the expenditure of a lot of
billions of dollars that got us to the moon.

You only need enough details to know that it isn't impossible,
not
enough to know the exact route to get to the end goal.
You also need the resources to make it happen. A mandate from FESCO
is not worth diddly-squat unless FESCO is prepared to do the work.
