I will explain. In Sept 1962 JFK made his “We choose to go to the Moon” speech. By FY 1963 (Oct 63) NASA budget went to $43,156 Mil (over 40 Bil today). A cry from the far left was made, that money should be spent on the poor. It a JFK Moon Boondoggle. JFK was not the hero of the far left yet, and NASA was thought to be a money pit. By 1964 NASA budget went to a whopping 57,329 mil (almost 60 Bil today).Look at the budget chart. https://www.planetary.org/space-policy/nasa-budget

“Economic diversion”. Is he referring to workers moonlighting a second job?
