Can we leave our troubles behind by going to the moon?

I thought space travel was cool back in the '60s when the whole school would gather in the auditorium to watch the latest launch -- on one little black-and-white TV.

The space shuttle program in the '80s was exciting.

NASA's new plan for returning to the moon by 2018?

I can't get stirred up.

Is it necessary? Worthwhile? Affordable? Practical?

What am I missing?

Doug,
Some good folks asked me the other day when I was coming back to (I will leave the town blank, since I don't want to hurt anyones feelings). My answer was to the point. I didn't find anything there, didn't lose anything there, no point in going back. Seems as if the same could be said about the moon.
