@soar2newhighs I didn't master it either, despite studying it, albeit reluctantly, for three years. But it did give me an appreciation for the etymology of English words. In fact most of the Western European languages have a lot influences from Latin. Later on scientific vocabulary added a lot of Greek derived words. I didn't have to study Greek, thank goodness, but it's interesting to see how so many European languages share quite a lot of similar Latin and Greek derived vocabulary; even if you do have to squint a bit to see it sometimes.
Given the higher cost of such a trip today and the lack of anything there that couldn’t be observed by a robotic probe, a manned flight isn’t worth it. Manned space travel in general is a waste of money anyway. We should be focusing on space telescopes and robots instead.
