I just arrived here at FES forum a year ago when a silly RE's announced he could fly to the Moon and back and had thus won my Challenge about it. But nobody can win my Challenge.
My Challenge is just great FUN! Plenty silly, stupid, mentally ill, crazy people believe in UFOs, Russians and dogs in space, later in American air force pilots that couldn't fly but looked good and thus could be presented as astronauts, etc. They do not realize all is just Hollywood FUN. In the confusion some people suggest Earth is flat too. Why not? I do not live in North Korea and can still open my mouth.
Regardless, it seems to be possible to send up satellites. Because people buy rocket engines from Airbus NV that I am a shareholder of.
