How interested were the counterculture hippies in the space programme?

They seemed pretty hyped for it...

They were against it and in favor of wasting the money on blacks. As always the left is against everything that is great and enduring.

they thought it was a waste

They probably thought it wasn't real considering hippies are the original conspiracy theorists.

they wanted it to fail like they wanted Vietnam to fail

absurdly, boomers thought we we're going to colonize the moon and blast out into hyperspace on the mothership

UFO and space cults were established

if your band's primary demographic was stoners it had at least two album covers featuring spaceships, robots, or aliens

wtf are you talking about

Here's Gil Scott Heron's Whitey's on the Moon. It's almost Shel Silverstein-ian, I like it.

very few hippies bought into that level of sjwism, but stuff like this was way more common

"Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying Mother Nature's
Silver seed to a new home in the sun."

The content of that had not much to do with space if not mistaken but point being digested...

Oblique sun worship.
