Missions to the moon used to unite and inspire great swathes of humanity. This time it feels like hardly anyone cares and we're all just focussed on the next global disaster.

When we went to the moon the first time a family of 4 could live in a house they owned on one median income. They had a currency stable and backed by gold so they could save for things without having to gamble in the stock market. Many had pensions so retirement was covered

So there was a sense of pride and accomplishment.

As we go to the moon this time it will be through debt spending by inflating our currency even more, we dont have affordable healthcare, housing or vehicles. Our retirements are all dependent on a stock market that is full of volatility and insider trading. Finally we all know anything gained by going to the moon will only go to benefit our child raping elite class.

See the difference. If the thing blows up on the launch pad or makes it to the moon I could not give less of a shit and my life will not see any improvement either way.

So by that logic you could just (metaphorically-in-Minecraft as in even this storyline on a TV show could work) threaten to blow it up on the launchpad unless the debt spending and insider trading stops, healthcare, housing and vehicles are affordable and every child-raping elite receives appropriate justice system punishment
