SpaceX to Send Privately Crewed Dragon Spacecraft ...
I love that a moon mission is a milestone en route to SpaceX' moonshot, not the moonshot itself. We need new idioms for these people.

It may seem less weird as trips to the moon become more common. We still use "flew too close to the sun" even though human powered flight at high altitudes is now common. It's more about the story of the original moonshot.

But flying close to the sun is still really bad. It's just we've never got close enough to the sun for it to be a problem.
