The moon officially belongs to the United States.
Anyone who begs to differ needs only to take a look at that famous picture of Neil Armstrong and his flag.
You hear that world? Yeah, that's right: We own the moon!
I really think we should claim it as an official territory and make it our 51st state. After all, isn't having more territory what every country wants? Claiming the moon would be the perfect way for the United States to expand its landmass.
Besides, it would definitely save Utah the embarassment of being the state with the fewest registered voters.
-
If the US wanted a 51st state, there are many closer alternatives than the moon. For example, Washington, DC residents pay federal income taxes but have no representatives in Congress or the Senate.
-
Wasn't there some American dude selling plots of "Moon" land a while back? I wonder if he's got any left to sell.
Maybe everyone in here knows about it already.
What a diamond of an entrepreneurial idea.
-
I'm OK with that idea if you can make Bush move there.
-
why haven't we been to the moon in a couple of decades?
-
Let's all go to the moon then.

See you on the Dark Side of the Moon!

okey doke
-

Either ...
1. We never went in the first place
(ok, I don't actually believe this myself, but I'm becoming more open-minded about conspiracy theories)
Or ...
2. There's no point ... too bloody expensive ... and if we want to explore space we can send robots up there
-
or...
we never went there in the first place.
-
We went to the moon. In 1969.
-
Was it vacation or business?
-
Perhaps a little of both.
-
Does the first flea to land on, say, Bush's backside own Bush's ass? Ordoes he have to plant a flag before making his claim?
Don't laugh. This is a serious question.
I don't see why not. And besides, I want a word with that flea.
-
We went to the moon. In 1969.
matter of fact the whole moon episode took place during the a time which my actual bith day took place during that span of time.
-

That was faked by the American administration because the soviets were winning the space race with being the first in space and were sure to be the first to get to the moon, also.
-
JFK also stated that we would be the first to the moon, and boldly predicted that we would do so by the end of the decade.
-
Buzz Aldrin sure made up for the falsehood years later by doing this..... http://www.unoriginal.co.uk/footage35_4.html
-
i make it a point to never fuck with a guy mnamed buzz for this very reason.

That's cool. Love the avatar btw. :laugh:
-
matter of fact, the day the moon landing took place i was in surgery having an emergency bowel obstruction surgery (first such surgery for me).
-
TMI
-
Buzz being a old guy He can throw a punch.
-
interesting idea, but the moon belongs to no one!
-

That is correct. ;)
-
I find it hilarious that the last option is the most popular.
-
i own the moon!

-
Thanks for that beautiful moon shot McJagger. ;D
-
You probably don't own it, though. Your wife does. :laugh:
-
is that own or pwn?
anyway, give the fucking US the moon, and then i can think of several million american twats we could make pioneers, and send them there, starting with dubya, and leaping up the evolutionary scale to the animal kingdom (axolotls, maybe)...
i think you get the drift.
-

It amounts to the same thing. :D

would dubya have a space suit or no? >:D
(I don't think the feds can get me for that.)
-
If the feds haven't gotten me yet, they aren't looking.
-
would dubya have a space suit or no?
who cares?

if he has one, he might be able to come back...(some idiot might go get him)

oh, come on - hasn't everyone with any aspirations to perform in a band/actually have done got a tape of something very similar? i must have loads. and some were even when i was sober... :-[

I got to agree with you their Kevv- it didn't help that the guy's voice made me want to perforate my own ear-drums.

The moon should be the 51st state of the USA with totally free guns, including H-bombs. :agreed:

Do you find it humorous that he seems to agree with himself so often.
I think he is becoming cowardly, because agreeing with oneself is the opposite of BRAVE.

Keep your paws off my moon I put no trespassing signs there last week it's part Partsatopia where I am king

SOIL!??!!??
I dare say that you use my favorite term with considered disdain. The moon has NO soil.
Soil is alive as opposed to "dust" and such.
If you've cultivated "soil" upon the harsh wasteland of the moon, then ANYONE stepping on it deserves to die.
:indeed:
-
I just read and read and read.
Why does it seem that we aspies are so brave, as lit would call it, but yet no difference is made? Aren't we supposed to be intelligent for the most part?
-
We're too few. :-\

plus getting autistics to do just about anything together is somewhat like herding cats. sad but true.

Yeah thats the problem. I can be seriously intimidating, but autistics wouldn't see my scary face. Cause they don't really care to look in the first place.
Touche sir. Touche.

... nor can you call earthworms to the surface.

If we really do own the Moon, all we have to do is send a garrison there and have them build a catapult--then the world will fall in line. See Heinlein's THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS.
-
Terrific book, that. :)
-
Heinlein was BRAVE! 8)
-
Lit was REPETITIVE.
-
REPETITIVE IS BRAVE :P
-
:agreed:
-
The moon is also BRAVE! :zoinks:

Actually, I own the moon, sorry.
