Leif Eriksen FTW!

I suppose. But that was going to be done soon, eventually, i mean loads of people were trying it, and could have done it. The moon however, could be said to be much harder, and the fact it was done I think said more about our species than the colonisation of the americas (which by the way, happened before columbus and co.
