When I think of public policy, I think of the Apollo Program. Consider the amount of organization and collaboration that went into making this policy decision a reality. Think of the coordination needed between the federal government and private sector to make the landing on the moon a reality.

For me, the idea of space travel has always been a reality. The realities of today are the direct result of policy decisions of yesterday. In this case, our world has been shaped to some degree by President Kennedy's decision to go the to the moon.
This decision was shaped by contextual factors, technical factors, and human factors that where applied to a policy analysis regarding putting a man on the moon.
