    The only things that would qualify for beating walking on The Fucking Moon as an achievement would be walking on Mars, or eliminating one of the following: poverty, hunger, war or cancer.

    That's pretty much the list, right there.

    It is not a very effective curse.

    No, it's just that everyone who's gone to the moon is a king among men

    I have a lot of respect for astronauts.

    They are smart, athletic, courageous and more.

    They are our superheroes.

    Everyone who's been to the moon has safely made their way back to Earth.

    If anything, I'd call it a blessing.

    Neil and Spacebat are out there somewhere hanging out.

    Neil lived a baller life. He lived a long life. I'm not telling anyone else how to feel about this, but I'm not sad. I'm happy for the dude living such a great life and being such a great dude. Party on in space, Neil.

    I'd call it a testament to our collective resolve and a strong indication that we have to be getting at least some of this whole science thing right

    seriously think about this shit

    "hey we're going to put you in a big metal tube and basically make a HUGE FUCKING EXPLOSION and try to launch you to the moon. we don't know if you'll explode instantly or if you'll make it into space or if you'll hit the moon once you do. then once you're up there and didn't die in the landing, walk around, get back in the tube, and try it again, and this time careen madly down towards earth. sound good?"

    how many of us would have the sack to go up there and do it

    I'm pretty sure if I saw someone disrespecting Buzz Aldrin in front of me I'd have to take a swing at them.

    Also there was a fear they would all get killed by space germs.

    Richard Nixon's speech if Apollo 11 failed was a powerful one,

    I'm just glad he never had to read it.

    Oh man this is powerful stuff.
    These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding. They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

    Yeah, this is kind of my opinion. It does suck that he died, and I'm sad when nearly anyone dies, but dude had a nice long life, so it's not like he died super young.

    It's kinda like when my grandfather died. He was 92. That's a pretty good age to live to!

    I think plenty of people would have jumped at the chance to go to space. More importantly, those early astronauts also had the determination and the intelligence to be the ones good enough to be selected.

    I was explaining someone the other day how I would totally jump on the opportunity to go into space, even in the face of the high probability of death. He couldn't comprehend that I'd risk death just to see space. I can't comprehend that anyone WOULDN'T.

    Seriously. It's motherfucking space.

    Well, to be fair as more and more people get into space, just getting there loses some of the magic. Like climbing Mt. Everest. Climbing Everest doesn't really seem all that magical nowadays. It's still cool, but you pretty much just need to be pretty fit and have the cash to throw down and they'll take you to the summit barring terrible weather.
