thanks for the tidbits

flight to the moon! cancelled because of the real flight to the moon and hence being outdated.... I wonder if it was a popular attraction before the real flight? Did it immediately suffer when the real flight occurred or did it get a surge of attention? It would be great if someone could answer this question!
