Otherwise, it's the Amerikan philosophy:
When all you've got going for you is a gun, everything is just a target.
Compare with folks armed with cameras.
When all you've got is a camera, everything is a photo waiting to be taken.
I've got a steady hand and shoot PHOTOS at long focal lengths hand-held.
P.S. Morans shot at the Palomar telescope mirror on its trip cross-country.

The very highest is barely known.
Then comes that which people know and love.
Then that which is feared,
Then that which is despised.
Who does not trust enough will not be trusted.
When actions are performed
Without unnecessary speech,
People say, "We did it!"

We should put dimdonniedipshit into a super-duper space commander space suit and strap him into the capsule and launch.
Let the aliens worry about him.
