Moon Details

Part of the problem about going to the moon for the very first time, is finding another willing to take the risk that you actually want. And then of course, another on top of that (gotta have a crew). Sure there are all sorts who would say "Yeah I'll go" but they are more than likely, not what you are looking for. It's not like you are just driving down the street.

Then of course, before you and your crew get into this new spiffy vehicle called a rocket, you need to show them with a very high degree of certainty, it will work. Not very many people will strap themselves into a metal contraption with 160 million horsepower under their butts, without knowing its not going vaporize them. Not too mention get them stranded in space, frozen, suffocated, impaled, drowned, burnt, tumbled, so on and so forth. And that takes a lot.

It takes a lot of support from others as well, even if they think you are insane to try, that they won't pull the plug on the project. Governments can be annoying like that. Always shutting down the little guy when he wants to build a rocket and launch it for fun. Safety concerns? Yeah yeah we know all about that. Shut up and let us give this a whirl. Everything else looks good on paper, and our number guys have numbered (like butlers buttle). Probably wouldn't hurt to grease the wheels a little, so to speak.

But now I get a head of myself. Willing crew first. Start there.
