Aaahhh... 

I dunno 'bout this "set foot on the moon 12 years from now" crap.

But if they want to fire me off on a 12 year round trip to Barnard's star, starting in 12 months, then we can talk.

Go large or go home, I say.

Going to the moon is so 60's. We should be on Mars by now.

If you're going to Barnard's Star, just hitch a lift from the Vogons... you'd be there in minutes.
