Whoever said - If we aim at the moon we may hit a star! Shoot for the moon - doesn't understand science, amirite?

That's why I always aim for the sun!

[If your spaceship blows up you'll still be famous]

By the time you reach where the star once was, the star would have died.

I've always heard it as, "Shoot for the stars and if you don't make it the moon ain‘t bad." Maybe you've heard the wrong saying.
