I'd not be very popular on such a trip. I consider myself one of Britain's finest farters, in fact my nickname at school was 'The Phantom Farter' - I could fart at will and regularly called upon to produce during assembly. My Dad God rest his soul had a similar ability and so has my eldest daughter.

I remember it well, middle of assembly, mates would say 'Ste, drop one, go on!' I'd angle my árse to one side depending on victim and so a depth charge would be released.

Ahh, I think it was GK Chesterton who once said "The follies of men's youth are in retrospect glorious compared (by Eddie Waring) to those of his old age"......

Happy days......

Do you recall the Japanese Endurance TV programme that Clive James got endless mileage from
on his own TV shows? I wouldn't trust this guy not to have something dastardly like that
up his sleeve, for touch down on the moon. Something like, only the winner gets to go back to
earth.
Plus, would you really want to go into space with people who are potentially, the 'wrong stuff'
as opposed to the 'right stuff'. The latter being the cream of the entire US air force and navy
fighter cadre. Plus top performers in Red Flag and Top Gun advanced fighter programmes.
Plus fighter test pilots. Then ten ish years astronaut training preparing to go into space.

If I could choose the seven or eight, I'd send the eight people that I detest the most and
hope they all kill each other in some televised fight to the death spectacular :)
Oh yeh and they would only be fed curry, baked beans, brussels sprouts and whatever other
food groups cause the most flatulence, as well as tainted food to cause explosive diarrhea :)

But I wouldn't let them depart until we could be sure that they wouldn't give Covid to the
Clangers. That would be an outrage too far.

I couldn't be part of a project called dearMoon. The orthography alone would probably kill me.
