Wow at that How To Go In Space thread. Very informative.

tbh whatever the reason Britain otm - you don’t go to the moon, that’s dumb - but if I were ever forced to make this pointless waste of time trip the only thing that would make it worse would be to get there and find a load of other fucking Brits on holiday

When it was much closer to the earth it must have looked quite amazing, even the average cam-phone would have made an eclipse look quite dramatic. And its gravitational pull would have probably caused tidal tsunamis on a daily basis? I think the early moon would have been much more interesting to visit, it had a weak atmosphere and some volcanic activity and the view of earth would have been much more interesting. It's just another floating corpse now!

some of them moons around the gas giants are so dazzling and energetic, whereas we've got this dead rock that might have a bit of water + thin layer of potassium and lots of pock marks and craters that some have remained unchanged for a billion years maybe. It's shit on a stick!

I suppose total eclipses are one of it's benefits. I was having a smoke outside some building during the '99 one and getting quite excited and some dampener said something like: big deal, it's getting dark.

The premise of guaranteed safety is a fairy tale and the sort of nonsense spewed by people selling something. Like a trip to the moon.

"fear of flying" is reasonable. if you can't cope with a bit of turbulence over the channel then i'd understand your hesitance to strap yourself to a MuskRocket v4.3

The surface of the moon is gorgeous (I treasure my copy of Michael Light's Full Moon).
There are desert landscapes in the American Southwest like White Sands and Great Sand Dunes NPs which are very similarly gorgeous, which are still possible to visit for < $100 camping gear and < $200 fuel/fare from here, where one can sleep on the warm sands, stars above, without fear of suffocating because a valve got stuck.
