Neon Genesis Evangelion debuted closer to the Apollo program than today.

That started as just an early-70s reference point people would recognize, but now that I think of it that’s a good point.

Mechanically, Eva is about a world responding to global disaster with an infinite-budget program to create huge metal things that get stored in giant hangars until erected by purpose-built structures, directed from consoles in a central control room

Would we think of that today?

I guess the question then is how much was NERV representing the space program and how much the ICBM program
