Not in lotr world. There its the opposite, with the male moon chasing the 'flaming hot' female sun across the skies.

Flaming hot is my addition but its kinda remarkably fitting : )

I read (sorry dont have a source) that russian fighter pilots fly commercial just to get flight hours, cause they dont get enough from the military. So uh... maybe a lot of them just didnt and maybe still dont have much experience at all. Or maybe they do now... those who still survive.

I recently saw something by Randall Munroe about this, the guy who makes xkcd. Something in there where the moon would partially restart the rotation of earth.

You'd risk getting shot/killed.

But that, explicitly with 'money' is english cultural imperialism. Would never be accepted in france etc.

Theres more to the world than just NA.

Amd cruising on past reputation.

1 in a million chance?

Required by law? I dunno, im guessing here.
