I think your post comes across differently than you meant it. I think this is how it's going: What you meant: "It's deeply unfortunate that we're at the point of venturing to other planets but we still haven't managed to get past all our petty divisions on this one." How it reads: "I prefer to think of humanity as a unified whole and view national boundaries as pernicious fictions, and it bothers me when other people talk about these fictional boundaries in the context of something as important as space exploration. Please phrase it differently from now on." The latter reading comes across as kind of pedantic and bossy, not to mention unrealistic.
