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.

    A rat done bit my sister Nell.

    (with Whitey on the Moon)

    Her face and arms began to swell.

    (but Whitey's on the Moon)

    Ten years from now I'll be paying still
