"No social media links" - so post an article reporting on someone's twitter?

Some advice:

Giant steps are what you take, walking on the moon.

I hope her legs don't break... walking on the moon.

A much better idea than practicing with the secondary astronaut.

Soon enough she'll be ready to play in a The Police cover group.

Your title sounds like a page from a children’s picture book

Crazy, I read the title and I thought it was gonna be some 1960s video. I can't believe I'm 40 and have never seen anyone go to the moon. You would think we would have at least 1 mission in that time.

Leveraging the cold war for quick cash and public support was obviously a mistake in hindsight. NASA had a whole program planned called "Apollo Applications". Michael Collins talked about it in his book "Carrying the Fire", he was part of the group selecting the astronauts for that program. The general public, thinking the only goal was to beat the Soviets to the lunar surface, would not have allowed it and congress didn't fund it. They went on to build Skylab. Better than nothing, I suppose.

I wish the soviets had beat NASA.

They did best the US to orbit, so there's some logic to what you're saying. I just don't think we have enough attention span to keep anything of that scale going. Or money.

Allow me to rephrase: I know it's a song by The Police, but my joke would've been about Sting walking on the moon somehow. The Police is just going to be a weird subject of the joke due to their name and slightly confusing.
