LETTER TO THE EDITOR | 2026 and 1968: Echoes of a divided nation

Many people regard 1968 as one of the most turbulent years in modern history. The war in Vietnam had reached its peak, and social and political division gripped not only America but much of the world. History does not repeat itself exactly, but it often echoes. In moments of uncertainty and division, humanity has shown an ability to look outward, to explore, and to unify something greater than itself. In 1968, that moment came from the Moon. Perhaps, once again, it will.
