24. Do you really mean Apollo 13?
where folks had to be creative about getting back to Earth?

Apollo 14, all the kinks got worked out, that was a successful lunar trip.

25. I meant Apollo 14
The previous trip was a bit rough, I'm sure it gave the 14 crew pause.

17. If I could escape this stupid solar system then Yes.
If I was going to a cooler planet somewhere then I'm definitely down. If it's just being shot up in the air and coming back, no.
