That ride was fun. Too bad you couldn't handle the tasty and had to sleep so much. Great show as always, even though I'm not a gamer, it all makes sense to me thanks to the Vintage Gamer Thanks for the mentions. That ride was fun.

Completing simple missions like Mercury make the odds of success better in later, more dangerous attempts, like Apollo. You actually fly each mission on the board, and disasters can strike at each phase of the mission. Example: the translunar burn fails, so your Apollo capsule soars off into the void. Yikes! Love the podcast! Another ‘race to the moon’ game that you didn’t mention is Liftoff:
