The Soviets sent Lunik III to photograph the far side of the moon sixty years ago. All the craters & mares already have Russian names.

4. Growing potatoes -- The probe also took with it a mini-ecosystem composed of six species: cotton, rapeseed, potato, arabidopsis, fruit fly and yeast.
Has there ever been a leftist demand for the change of the name of rapeseed?
They used to grow food in Kansas
Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw
I can see the day coming when even your home garden
Is gonna be against the law

Not surprisingly, a quick look around YouTube shows that there are dueling delusions from various Barking Moonbats -- one group sez the Chinese probes (this lander, and the earlier one) found proof [sic] of alien structures, bases, craft, mining operations etc; the other group sez, whole thing a hoax because the Earth is flat.

All this hoopla and they still haven’t landed a man on the moon. Maybe they’re holding off until the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s giant step.

We have a FReeper who claims (Seriously) that the Earth is flat and that NASA has faked everything! Maybe he will show up on this thread.

Some think it’s faked... they’ve spotted cables and artifacts in the pictures that shouldn’t be there.

I've seen him, but don't remember his name. He says we launched nukes at the dome that seals us in and even they couldn't dent it.

We are so dumb for thinking he's kooky. He told me.

Thanks.

For what ever reason, I thought the Moon rotated once on it's axis every 27 days so that one side was always facing the Sun.

Corrected.

It rotates once on its axis every 27(?) days so that one side always faces Earth. If you have (access to) a decent telescope, it can be quite fascinating to look at the Moon every night, as the phase changes. You’ll be looking at the same piece of lunar landscape, but the Sun angle is different every night, and the terminator is in a different place, and different features are highlighted.

A telescope should make it to my wish list one day.
