Well actually I might be persuaded by a mission to land some people on Ganymede. Oh, OK, or Mars either. If funded properly... I think there is something to be said for the exploratory spirit of the human race and it would be truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring.

But having a contest to see how many times we can orbit the earth? forget it. I guess that's what I meant when I said "do it right, or don't do it."
