Has there been any society in the history of civilization that sends people to walk in the moon?

Yes - America. Maybe that is an easier problem to solve since we did that, and we still have homeless people.

Actually, homelessness is easy to solve, but requires distasteful actions by the government, like involuntary commitment.

I’ve been involuntarily committed - my insurance covered a lot of it, but I’m guessing homeless peoples’ health insurance isn’t so good.
