Don't Shoot For The Moon, Whatever You Do. Unless You're NASA.

 Warning:  This is the silliest thing I've posted for a very long time.

Shoot for the Moon.  Even if you miss you'll land among the stars.

I implore you. Don't do it.

Given physics and the cost of rocket technology it's much more likely you'll smash into the ground if you shoot for the moon. If you hit water it'll still hurt lots.

If you did manage to escape the gravitational attraction of the planet and missed the moon you would be dead for thousands or millions or even billions of years before reaching a star. You may never reach one at all. And you might get caught by a black hole or smashed to pieces by a piece of rock.

Even if you did have a suspension unit to keep you alive for so long, what are the chances that you would land not crash and what are the chances that you would fluke a habitable planet with an abundant food source and no large creatures or microorganisms to bump you off?

If you did hit the moon that's an incredible achievement for an individual endeavour of course and NASA would be very annoyed if you got there before they get someone else there if their current program goes to plan. In this case though, I don't believe in you!

The moon isn't the best place to be. Why would you aim for there if you weren't part of a space agency? No rain or storms but it's a bit cold and while the atmosphere is pollution free it's also almost entirely atmosphere free. There's not even a KFC and Deliveroo don't deliver that far. It's also an extreme move even for the most dedicated hermit and there's neither WiFi nor a landline and the municipal plumbing is underdeveloped. Plus the lunar charity shops never get any good donations.

So my advice is not to shoot for the moon. Even if you have a sufficiently well developed personal space program or have illegally invented a firearm far more powerful than anything the army has.

No. Don't shoot for the moon.

Get an extra cushion. Make a cup of tea. Read a book. Watch a comedy.

Life's good enough. Accept its beauty even on days when you've just posted about how rough it's being.

You don't have to shoot for the moon.

Your life here is good enough.

It can hurt here but it's better than trying to survive alone on the moon.
