I just watched Hidden Figures. Were most people involved in the civil rights movement supportive of (or at least indifferent to) the Space Race, or did they take the "why we wasting money on this instead of fixing the problems here?" attitude you sometimes get from socially conscious people today?

suppose I'm an important Roman/Greek Writer (lets say Livy if you want someone specific) and I've just finished and important work. How do I go about getting it from my desk (or my scribe's desk) and into the hands of people who want to read it?
