Put aside all the discussions of should we be doing this, are there better goals to aim for, etc, can we just stop for a moment and acknowledge that four people are on their way to our moon in a spaceship?

All the collaboration and shared effort that went into making it possible, just that should be enough to make us pause and think what else could we achieve?

Some people want to watch the world burn, and the rest of us was to light the touch papers under a million constructive, helpful, meaningful projects.

@alexanderdyas Some people are funding it for science and exploration. Most people are funding it so they can exploit the moon.
@alexanderdyas I'm quite looking forward to seeing the results of the O2O system though.

@jamesb I’m as much a glass half empty person as the next, but damn, I need some glass half full right now.
@alexanderdyas It's half full of water and half full of sewage because your water company forgot to spend money on maintainance.
