1st thing to land on the moon for 4 decades.

Pretty damn cool IMO, but i am wondering how long it will be until the cheap knock-offs appear on fleabay

[MarJay]

And one more thing... You must find the Jade Monkey before the next full moon!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Britain should get in on the moon game by putting something entirely unsuitable up there. Like a bottle bank, or an early model Ford Mondeo, or a rack of Barclays bikes, or a refrigerator on skis....


but then we should never tell anyone we put it there, so decades later the next humans to visit will be forever wondering just wtf it's doing there.

Keep the moon weird.

I half expect that while Europe and North America are still dicking around with under-unity fusion in the lab, China will one day mention "Oh, we've been shipping helium-3 in from the moon for our reactors and using them to make all those silly solar panels and wind turbines that you've been wasting your money on."
