This would be fun, but have they developed a pill for space / motion sickness?

I went deep sea fishing once. Spent the entire day leaning over the railing.

Worst.
Day.
Of.
My.
Life.

It is an amazing time we are living in. Private businesses are now doing what once required the mobilization of nations to make happen. SpaceX can do Sputnik (on a weekly basis) without batting an eye. Jeff Bezos is about to play Alan Shepard for real. And even a clown like Richard Branson can be a rocket ace. So yeah, a private flight to the Moon is not the least bit far fetched.

I think this may be a cycler with Dragon for re-entry.

In reply to Call Me Ishmael. Call Me Ishmael. I am embarrassed, especially because I wrote the book on Apollo 8. I forgot to count the missions before Apollo 11 that did not land. Ooph! I will correct.

“…only been done seven times…”

??? Even if you don’t count 13, I get 8. 8 10 11 12 14 15 16 17. And 13 did go around the Moon.
