America flew nine manned lunar orbit missions in the 60’s and 70’s. Apollo 8 didn’t carry a Lunar Module, CM only. 10 did a low pass in their lunar module, 11 and 12 landed, 13 had to abort, 14-17 landed. We gave the rest of the world a 50 year chance to come in tenth and nobody did so here we go again.

Canada gets to umm actually for the rest of time because there was a Canuck on Artemis 2, the rest of you are now jockeying for 11th place.

While it is a good idea to stress that this is a largely US undertaking to show that this country is not all just shit in a barrel yet, the bland nationalism in your comment unfortunately somewhat negates that impression again.

Instead of focusing on becoming 10th, we just gave ourselves healthcare. It is a wondrous achievement going around the moon though.

A rat done bit my sister Nell. (with Whitey on the Moon) Her face and arms began to swell. (and Whitey’s on the Moon) I can’t pay no doctor bill. (but Whitey’s on the Moon) Ten years from now I’ll be paying still (while Whitey’s on the Moon)
