People should be a lot more excited that we're going to the moon again!

Sure, the news has picked up on it today, but NASA launching a rocket to orbit the moon for the first time since 1972 is huge! Is it because we're not landing on the moon that people seem less than impressed by this? Do people even understand what a huge achievement it is every time human bodies venture further beyond our planet? Me? I am very excited! Good luck to all the astronauts and I am so jealous of what they'll get to experience and so grateful they're brave enough to undertake a massive road trip. 

Who do you think is in charge of "road" games and dispensing treats every hundred miles?*

UPDATED 4/2: It was amazing!

*Those 100-mile treats were a mainstay of my own family's countless road trips since every vacation we took as I was growing up involved traveling great distances in our largest family car at the time.
