I wouldn't have gone to the moon if I were them. You know they'll have to meet the president after they get back. It's not worth it.

free ride to the moon and a chance to ~~kill~~ meet the most sadistic megalomaniac in history?

It ain't free. They're on the clock, they're being paid.

I'm not sure if "have to" is true. I'm sure they could refuse. The consequences might include not being an astronaut, but that's probably the same as your option.

The mental image of one if them dancing into the whitehouse like a Ghanaian palbearer just to flip everyone off and say 'I don't give a fuck what you creepy old paedos have to say. I went to the fucking moon,' is immensely entertaining.
