  1. These missions captured my imagination as a kid. Now I have 7 interplanetary mission under the belt. You just gotta go for it.

  2.  @Evike95Air  Why don't you just go to Antarctica and find out what's on the other side? If you look at the SRTM radar image of the surface of the Earth..it is in fact the ONLY image of the entire globe in a single coordinate system, moreover it used interferometric radar (like a hologram). It's a 3D image, and guess what? It's round. The data are beyond the simulation level of any computer, it was written to tapes that filled the shuttle cargo bay. We took those tapes straight to analysis, and the earth was round. It simply could not have been faked by anyone or any government. Moreover, me and my homie place targets around Earth at locations known only to use, with a precision of around 1 inch, and guess what? They were in the data...it would be impossible to fake that in a simulation. Search online, I think the data are free. You could also use a GPS, travel in a large triangle. You will find the angles don't add to 180 degrees. If you understand geometry: that cannot be faked on a flat surface...it's is mathematically impossible to do it for an arbitrary triangle.
