Single to the Moon, please


People sometimes forget just how ruthless the Cold War was.  Take this proposal from 1962.  Sure, NASA could land a man on the Moon, but getting him back?  That was another matter entirely.  Their solution?  Land a man on the Moon and have him live in a hut on the surface until a return craft could be built.

God help the poor volunteer if the brass forgot to include enough crossword puzzles.
