To get the country back on track does the United States need a big, audacious "man on the moon" type goal?
Whether converting the energy infrastructure from fossil fuels to clean energy, or sending humans to Mars (and returning them), would an ambitious, forward looking project of this scale help us regain our confidence and vitality?
Looking back at the original man on the moon project, I highly recommend For All Mankind, the 1989 Academy Award nominated documentary by Director Al Reinert. It is a great film with a superb soundtrack, which features Brian Eno. A brief sample clip from the beginning of the movie is below. And for home theatre buffs with a good subwoofer, I highly recommend cranking up the Saturn V rocket launch scene.
Absolutely amazing what the United States was able to accomplish 40+ years ago with the technology of the day.
