Could a reborn NASA mission to the Moon & beyond bring us together? (racist, government)

I just watched Appollo 13 again, and remembered the great patriotism, and feeling of unity we all had during that mission.

I think this could help us heal as a nation.

Space exploration is racist, xenophobic, and extraterrestrialphobic.

No. Both sides detest the other side. Space missions will not erase that.

We have billionaire bros building rockets now, OP. The magic of the Apollo mission is long gone.

[JenaS62]

Nope

[Toxic Waltz]

Would American astronauts be chosen for merit or for what boxes they checked?

First L on the moon...
First G on the moon...
First B on the moon...
First T on the moon...
First Q on the moon...

It wouldn't hurt, but it'll take more than that. A string of positive events have to unfold. Stuff that makes all sides go, "What's there to be so angry and bitter about this place? Things are good." Kinda like the mid-late 90s.

We have enough government wasteful spending as it is, we don’t need to blow billions that we don’t have on a moon mission
