Figured I should get some Hungarian notation involved if I was going to post about Charles Simonyi's efforts to be the first nerd in space!

If you are thinking that the code in the title is a silly and wasteful way to run a loop one time, I'll just point out three things:

Any halfway decent optimizer will probably get rid of it anyway;
It was the only way to make sure Community Server did not expand "iMoonTrip < cMoonTrip" to "iMoonTrip &lt; cMoonTrip" in the title;
You are probably also a geek and should inquire whether Simonyi will take you with him as checked baggage (he can be seen at http://www.charlesinspace.com/)

Pretty exciting stuff!

I don't want to be baggage, but... you could have used iMoonTrip != cMoonTrip...

Yes, and several other constructs.

And yes josh, you are a geek too! :-)
