I found it inspiring, as did millions of others.

If the point of life is to merely live, then we should all be sitting in small white padded rooms and fed rice and beans. I suppose one person's waste is another person's inspiration. At the very least it was entertaining, and the cost of a roadster is beans compared to the entertainment value derived from the stunt.

We shouldn't have wasted resources landing on the moon, and once there, should have brought the American flag back, so as to not waste it and litter. While I'm sure there are many that would agree with all of those statements, they aren't inspiring, and don't make for an existence worth living to me.
