Trust us, you look amazing. You look beautiful. [music]
And from up here, you also look like one thing, you know, homo sapiens is all of us, no matter where you're from or or you know, what you look like. We're all one people.
That was NASA pilot Victor Glover on board the Orion capsule with the astronauts of Artemis 2.
The mission around the moon and back is a major milestone for space exploration and comes at a time of uncertainty back on Earth amid a fragile ceasefire in Iran and fierce political divisions.
isn't the first time we've seen advances in space travel juxtaposed with conflicts on Earth.
The Apollo 8 mission of 1968 and the Apollo 11 moon landing 1 year later both came at a time of public discourse in the US.
Marsha Berry joins me now.
She's an associate professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Thank you so much for being here.
What was the mood of the country in 1968-69?
Well, there's a lot of data points I could probably highlight, but one that I maybe will mention that I think is helpful is that in February of 1968, the Kerner Commission released a report.
It was a bipartisan body appointed by President Johnson to examine the causes of the urban unrest in Detroit the previous summer in '67 and the report concluded that the nation was we had essentially two nations, one white, one black, separate and unequal.
That's one data point of many that highlighted the division in the United States at the time.
Of course, the anti-war protests in response to Vietnam were you know, very heated by 1968.
There were the assassinations of Martin King in April of '68 and Robert F. Kennedy in June of that year.
So, there was a lot of strife and division in the United States.
And given that, what did those lunar missions mean for people?
Well, I mean it's interesting. I think that that initial or the Apollo mission in December of 1968 is largely remembered as a unifying time.
But the I guess Apollo 11 mission where you had the lunar the landing the next summer, there were actually protests outside of the Kennedy Space Center.
There were protests from activists who complained the United States was spending too much money on you know, on this program rather than domestic programs.
There was a concern that the nation sort of the government's priorities were you know, sort of out of alignment in their in their minds.
So, I think that speaks to the sort of growing concern that perhaps the you know, the the government was sort of too focused on the Cold War and sort of spending money on this space program.
So,
>> [snorts] >> it was both a unifying event, but you can also see some concern that maybe
people today would sort of maybe it resonates with them that they were concerned about the priorities of the government.
Well, Marsha Berry, we really appreciate looking back with us. Thank you.
