Well, it can no longer pull off basic projects, let alone Manhattan Projects. But if it could do one (1), it should spend the capital on decommissioning of the federal government. Return powers to US states or foreign states. Back to 1800s with far less centralization of function. This is what we will get anyway…

Increasing Americas capacity for emotional self-regulation and mutual respect… we are become a nation of bullies and pessimists with thin skin, and petty bullshit, an inability to debate, and excessively cancel culture bias. Plus we no longer teaching ethics or civics in school. So, nonexistent, moral compass.

Man on Mars. · Recapture pioneer spirit. · Engage youth in STEM · Will almost undoubtedly have impact on lunar presence · space always yields ancillary tech (Velcro!) The question isn't "what problem is worth solving?" but "how do we rebuild a culture of innovation and active discovery?". Win hearts and minds.
