What is with all the moon landing?

That's a very good question. But who on earth wouldn't want to go to the moon if the opportunity existed? I suppose some might - those who think its too scary, dangerous, a waste of money, no purpose, etc. And it does take a long time to prep for, but in my humble opinion, its not even an issue of "should" but "how". Course, like I said before, one just has to hope that launch day is both gotten to, and a success.

How can any of the worries compare to the actual thrill of the success? At the top of a 365' tall, 7.5 M pounds of thrust machine being hurled into space can't possibly be matched - and that doesnt even actually count getting to hop around on the moon for however long.

As long as God doesn't consider it as encroaching on His domain too much, and perhaps even throws a blessing or two (hey I can wish) that makes things work smoothly, this should go well.

Or maybe I'm just delusional. Good thing about rocket explosions tho is with all that fuel, it'll be over quick. That should be a selling point to spouses: "Why yes, I may burn up in a crisp in a nice bright fireball - but it's a fast fireball"
