    I for one don’t know how many astronauts are being sent to the moon when. And if most people do, no point writing this article, is there?

        So what? No one is saying the sentence says or implies for the first time. It just implies one person will be going this time.

          So you know the context. It doesn’t imply that, just a faulty assumption/logical fallacy.

            That is like me saying there is one pope and your takeaway is there is at least one. Yes, the sentence does not explicitly state there is only one, but it strongly implies it, just like the title.

              It doesn’t state it, and it’s not really important if it’s one of a few on a crew (as you would expect).

                That’s like someone boasting he rode the Tour de France and then claiming it is not important he rode it on a motorbike. There is a big difference between another nation reaching the moon and a foreigner hitching a ride with the Americans.

                PS: No matter how much you try to move the goal post, I said “implies” from the start and you said it doesn’t. I ain’t falling for “it does not state it”.
