What I said was that the quote did not contain a reason to go to moon EXCEPT that it is hard, which I do not consider a good reason, when it is on it's own, to do something.

For instance, sawing your hand off with a dull knife is hard. That doesn't mean I want to do it, if "it is hard" is the only reason. Now, if you provide another reason to do it, such as "your hand is stuck under a truck which is about to explode...AND it is hard," I would reconsider it.
