We will acknowledge it. Valentina Kerman walked on the Mun. Huddin Kerman was there. Katdorf Kerman did science. They came home. Zero crew lost. We at KFD are not made of stone. It was an achievement. We have said it. Print it. Frame it. Move on.
Now. The pothole outside this building is twelve years old. We measured it again this morning: 34 cm. Gerald is deeper than it was when they launched TRANQUIL. Gerald has been deepening throughout the entire Mun program. Gerald was deepening when they launched SOLARCOM. Gerald was deepening when they built LSI 1. Gerald was deepening when they landed on the Mun. Gerald does not care about the Mun. Gerald cares about the road. The road is what Gerald is.
They spent - and we are estimating here because NASA's budget is classified in ways that should concern you - enough to land three kerbals on the Mun and bring them back. We cannot fill a hole. The Council defeated the roads motion 411-1. The one vote was the Roads Party. The Roads Party has one seat. The pothole has twelve years.
We will say this once more: the Mun did not fix the road. Nothing that happens in space fixes the road. We are happy they came home. Fill the hole.
