I hadn’t realized that embittered SF stories about the state of the US space program had been published quite this early. After all, Apollo 17 was only three years in the past when this story came out.

The loss of the promised Apollos 18, 19, and 20 may have embittered some observers even before Apollo 17 landed. So the resentment had a few years to get going before Niven and Robinett published their respective stories.
