This is a new vehicle, and this is a test flight to work out the kinks before attempting a landing. It's exactly the same way Apollo was done. Go read about Apollo 8. | ||

They're "going to the moon" in the same way that going to the drive-through is "going to mcdonalds". I think NASA is still as good as it was, they just don't have unlimited "beat the soviets" budget anymore | ||
