Every so often I'm reminded of the first attempts at moon missions and how many of them missed the Moon entirely.

And I giggle.

It's not fair- space is hard!- but it's just such an absurd line on a mission report.

"Missed the Moon"

@Doephin I still giggle about Musky Boy missing Mars and then trying to pitch it as "oh we're gonna go to the asteroid belt instead!!1"
