I remember being at Cape Canveral right before the Apollo-Soyuz mission and while admittedly the whole West vs East thing added to the story it was indeed exciting because new things were happening that had never been attempted, let alone performed. I think you're right that we need to do new things to get the public to pay attention to space like we did as a nation back then.
