> And in the case of lifting most of humanity out of poverty, two things are responsible: capitalism and technology.

You alleged above it was due to the moon landings that people were lifted out of poverty. Do you understand the difference here?

Was not the space race, and the cold war context it happened it, a driving force in pushing technological advances forward?
