“Scientists at NASA calculated that if a professional baseball pitcher were on the moon, they would be able to throw a baseball into orbit, due to the low gravity and lack of air resistance.“

Haven’t these guys got a shuttle to check? 😉
Seriously, i love all the trivia NASA gives out and know even highly paid physics scientists might have a slow day at work. Given they stopped using apes for astronauts, they cant even bet how many G’s those make in the centrifuge before their heads explode.
Tough luck guys.
But the rest of the world expects you to bring people to mars as casually as they fetch a hamburger from McDrive – and given it were your parents who put the Neil on the moon you might just put the pedal to the metal and get your arse in gear, those of us too young for the moon want to be live on mars when the foot stomping happens.
