...I don't know... treating the moon like a bowling pin in Ted Nugent's backyard, makes me nervous.

I'm sure NASA has done the calculations, but these were the same guys who said they had "fixed" the falling foam debris issue with the shuttle. At least they gounded the fleet this time.

...and yeah, walking out your front door in Ohio and having to surf to Pennsylvania to see the relatives would suck.
They are also the same guys that mistook the metric system for the imperial system, and lots a few hundred million dollars worth of spacecraft. :)

They dead-sailored a Titan off the launch pad because they were running metric based launch software in a non-metric based system...

Genius.

I can't wait for this whole "Moon-Shot"...:rolleyes:
