It concerned something I heard on the news this week about a plan from the 1960s for us (America) to nuke the moon in order to impress the Russians. We would indeed have "given up on the moon," and had we succeeded in knocking it out of orbit, we would have died as a result. There has to be a lesson in that about the importance of not giving up, the outcome being death, of one kind or another.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.com
