The cost of the moon shot would bankrupt even a multimillionaire. And with so many things that can go wrong, no financier will touch the idea!

We try to arrange a consortium of millionaires, but they don't see any profit in it. The only reason to support it would be for individual fame. They won't share the fame, yet no individual can risk it. So we're stuck.

Should we ask for donations? Or just go straight to the government? Or do something else?
