Did going off the gold standard kill the space program?

This actually threw me for a loop, was reading my kids a bedtime book from school about the US space program and it stated the Apollo program was only operational for 5 years, from 1967-72. After that, there weren't anymore Apollo missions, or really too many big space missions in general. At the end of the movie Apollo 13 it even says some of the astronaut survivors future missions were canceled due to budget cuts.

Since I have gotten into Bitcoin I have become familiar with how rotten the monetary system has become, and also wtfhappenedin1971.com . However, this is the first time I can see a link that going off the gold standard with FDR first and then closing the gold window in 1971 may have changed the nature of the Space Race by cutting funds when achievements were perhaps at their heights.

While there have definitely been advancements since, there have become more focused and precise in nature than the space program of over half a century ago. Imagine what may have happened if there had been a Mars exploration program AND a spave shuttle program happening at the same time....

Or perhaps I'm wrong, overthinking or simplifying it and the anticipation of the Halving is encroaching on my mental facilities. Whatever, still interesting to speculate another way the fiat system has further kept humanity grounded, and not in a good way. Doesn't the phrase go "Fix the money fix the world"?
