I love that ‘moon’ is written under ‘place.’

    I love the “to be determined” if there is anything on board that can cause a health hazard (they did quarantine astronauts when they first came back from the moon)

      The quarantine turned out to be needless, but I understand why they did it. You have to prove landing on the moon is not a biological threat and that’s pretty much the only way to do it.
