on the surface or not?


You don't have to go there to find the US leftovers - anyone can fire a laser to the moon and have it reflected back from a mirror they left up there. It's how we measure the distance from us to it. I don't happen to have a laser handy though.

Was under the impression that the stars and stripes left behind has been bleached by solar radiation and has turned white... thus, by the law of flags, gifting the moon from USA to France.

They won't find an American flag, radiation would have worn out the colours and it would just be a plain white flag. This is assuming they actually land near it anyway.

Yep, just partial solar eclipses.

When it gets too far away it would change a lot of things like the tides and the stability of the Earths Axial Tilt. It would even be classed as a planet in its own right.

Surely it's smaller than pluto, so would be a planetoid rather than a planet. Don't think I'll hold my breath for it either way.

Pluto is 2/3 the size of the Moon in circumference and Mars is twice the circumference of the Moon.

Ah, ok, probably not then. But will the moon still be orbiting the earth if it's that far away, and if it is, surely it's still a moon. If it break from the Earths' gravity and starts orbiting the sun solely, then I can see it could then be a planet, might have an extravagant orbit though.

The Chinese will land on and unofficially "claim" a completely different part of moon. The next century will see the beginning of humanity utilising the moons potential for mining and energy and there will be international disputes over who owns what, but it may come down to a first come first serve basis, a bit like how much of colonisation happened on earth - despite current treaties stating that no country can claim ownership to anything in space.

So in regards to your question, no they won't - but it is all there, you can see it from earth.


Bullshit, there's Aliens up there, they'll boot them out.

The Spaceship Moon Theory as postulated by two members of the then Soviet Academy of Sciences, Michael Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov, in a July 1970 article entitled "Is the Moon the Creation of Alien Intelligence?"

My favourite theory, I thoroughly enjoy this idea. The moon is anomaly itself..

The problem with Chinese moon missions is, half an hour later, you want another one.

I like that it's called Jade Rabbit. Do you reckon they keep it in Mummy's special draw with the spare batteries and a copy of 50 shades of grey

I thought it was widely excepted that the moon is a massive spaceship similar to the Death-star?
