I only learned about this stuff in a page or two in a history book, so this more indepth stuff is pretty wild.

If I heard correctly, they said Apollo 8 burned 20 TONS of fuel per second during thrust.

UFC is on now, about a 15 second attention span

Earth is a bi tch. Tugs pretty hard when you are close.

But imagine being on an asteroid small enough to walk on,
but if you jumped up with enough force you would be off and away.
Liftoff by jumping, that would be cool.

Just boggles me...the guts these astronauts had to have. To know where they were traveling to, but yet if the slightest thing goes wrong or is miscalculated, they don't make it back.
