I, too, have aimed my telescopes at our pale satellite, avoiding the other planets as if they were unwanted invitations to corporate dinners. I understand your enthusiasm for the Moon, less so for good old Elon. Let's face it, relying on Musk for a ride to the Moon might be like hoping the wolf will watch the sheep, with the risk that the journey turns into a space episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," where the real question is: "Will we ever get there?" And yes, the idea of going alone... well, I'd prefer a blind date with an alien. At least there'd be some suspense.
