Not that I don't approve of this plan, but I think a part of it is that you don't always recognize the good historical moments as such at the time. The moon landing is actually pretty unique in that regard.
Just think of what the kids will say in another 25, 50 years when we talk about the most recent presidential election. Even while it was happening it was historic, yes, but also just a part of life, politics as usual. In another 75 years though, what will people say about what it must have been like to have been alive at the time?
