I think this could help us heal as a nation.

Great idea, however after reading the first page of comments I have concluded the answer is a resounding no.

We will never be brought together ever again by any event, short of a full scale invasion by another country, which will certainly never happen.

We are two countries trying to exist as one and failing pretty miserably at it.

The Apollo program was Big Government Socialism. We’d need to go back to 1969 tax policies to pay for it. Are you sure you want that?

Not at all. Democrats would find a way to make it divisive.

Our enemies have already succeeded in their mission, which was to facilitate the division among us.

Invasion is not needed, we are destroying ourselves, our nation. They will come in soon to pick up the pieces.

Not a chance.

It wasn't the space missions that brought the country together.

It was JFK that did that.

Let's get it off the ground first.
It's embarrassing how we can't even build a spacecraft to make it off the launchpad 50+ years after allegedly putting men on the moon.
Really brings into question whether the moon landing was really a hoax.

He certaintly played a big role but its more than that. To go to the moon, Mars ,and beyond ,people have to have an imagination. Sorely lacking today and I blame it on todays public education. When they teach to a test, there is only 1 right answer. To go to space and to make things better on earth, there has to be invention, and dreams, and imagination. Doesnt exist in todays world.
