You’re right about the Trump allies being terrible, but you’re wrong about America.
This country’s so great that it has maintained its top status despite Donald Trump. We’re about to go to the moon, again. Call me when any other country even lands a human there once.
Human achievement is something to be proud of, no matter which nation-state one hails from. The Apollo program was a triumphant achievement of ingenuity that spawned many important ancillary technologies and industrial applications, especially in aeronautics, computer science, and diagnostic medicine worldwide. Our understanding of our planet’s moon, our solar system, and the greater cosmos and the exploration thereof are noble pursuits.
It’s understandable to want to express pride at being from the country that accomplished this aeronautical feat. Whereas, someone from Russia would want to celebrate Yuri Gagarin and Valentina Terashkova, the first man and woman in space, respectively. Someone from Ohio would perhaps be happy to share their heritage with John Glenn.
It’s a problem when people lord achievements of those who share their heritage over others as a cheap way to score points in an argument, but, in a general sense, space exploration is important for scientific and technical development of our species.
To answer your second question, I personally care about the moon landing because I want humanity to reach a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev Scale. The Apollo program was one small step on that road, and it reminds me of humanity at its best.
(1) the benefits of human space exploration and colonization are obvious
(2) there’s one, singular nation-state that has accomplishments in that regard, and it’s the especially advanced nation-state that was disparaged above
(3) typing “why do you care so deeply about it?” is a profoundly asinine, sad, trolling statement that indicates you likely don’t care adequately about anything
If it’s so obvious you’re probably easily able to name one or two.
Also I am not sure if colonizing or exploring the moon is equivalent to exploring or colonizing space. I’d argue that the ISS was more what space exploration would look like in real life, as most of the time, humand would be traveling in ships, not having a walk on a satellite.

What’s the benefit of landing a human on the moon again? And why do you care so deeply about it?
