Just like sending men on the moon was such a waste of money and didn't bring any profitable dollars from the sales of moon trips on the market of space travels, that decision must have been as well so stupid businesswise it surely almost lead NASA to bankruptcy . Proof is that they stopped sending men on the moon. What a bunch of delusional dreamers and bigfoot believers they must have been to think about sending men on the moon.
NASA is a U.S. Government agency, not a for-profit commercial enterprise, and cannot by definition 'go bankrupt.' Kennedy's September 1962 commitment to put a man on the moon was a political, not business, decision. He had multiple motivations for making it, primary among them an interest in technologically besting the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The wisdom or stupidity of going to the moon can only be judged on the basis of non-business criteria.
Anyone who equates a 2018 revival of Kodachrome with this country's 1960s moon program should probably be making their case to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, not other posters on PHOTRIO. I'd expect, though, that a proposal to sink U.S. Treasury funds into a such a project would be completely rejected, if it were even given a hearing. Good luck, though.
PS If someone does convince my government to re-launch Kodachrome, please ensure it requires Eastman Kodak to put those stable dyes on Estar this time. There's not much benefit in extended dark-storage image capability when the acetate base becomes a vinegary slurry before the dyes fade.
