AtlasV? Surely Oblast Off would choose to collaborate with his Chinese friends.

According to one ancient legend, a Chinese official named Wan-Hoo attempted a flight to the moon using a large wicker chair to which were fastened 47 large rockets. Forty seven assistants, each armed with torches, rushed forward to light the fuses. In a moment there was a tremendous roar accompanied by billowing clouds of smoke. When the smoke cleared, the flying chair and Wan-Hoo were gone.

Ise gotts da chair. There are syrplus Fourth of July rockets. Maybe Obluster would like to be the first prez in space!

Mind you, Mythbusters busted that legend in no time flat (it was one of the more memorable episodes of that series).
