At my skill level, it'd be a miracle just to get the Glider around the moon at all, let alone in a stable orbit. But thanks, gonna keep plugging away training on it. Incidently, if I wanna put the Glider around the moon, what do I do once I'm off Earth?

the skeptic in me recalls plans for lunar hotels and martian vacations written up in the 70's, projecting the future to come some time in the 90's.

the optimist in me crosses his fingers and hopes that the increasing speed of technological innovation and private attempts to push us into space brings the future before our deaths. (if life extension pushes our ages past 100, we may get a chance to join a senior citizen day-cation orbit for the price of a trip to florida)
