Men never went to the moon.
The earth is flat.
Interesting list of viewing opportunities at the site. Most are sold out.
A popcorn fart compared to Saturn-5 which was built in the 60s. It needs to be 2x as powerful to put a significant lead over Saturn - 5.
The page says they’re going to try to land all 3 first stages...2 on land and one at sea on the barge.
