Do you think ancient Rome could have landed someone on the moon had they not fell?


Ancient Rome was very military driven. They also had classes of people, which I'd argue is about as selfish as you can get. They could absolutely land on the moon with enough time.


Absolutely not. The ones who did beat the Romans were the ones which then did the moon landing.

The Germans.


Given enough time, yes.


Roma Aeterna!
