Bumbling Humans Made It to the Moon
So there he is at last. Man on the moon. The poor magnificent bungler! He can't even get to the office without undergoing the agonies of the damned, but give him a little metal, a few chemicals, some wire and twenty or thirty billion dollars and, vroom! there he is, up on a rock a quarter of a million miles up in the sky.
Baker Russell Wayne, Why on Earth Are We There? Because It's Impossible (21 Jul 1969)
