Nobody lives there...except for Gary Larson.

I am old enough to remember a time when no one knew what the far side looked like. I remember when the Soviets sent a spacecraft to photograph the far side for the first time. The photos (not very good quality) were published in the newspapers. My mother thought they were frauds.

...the only logical explanation for the breakdown of the Chinese rover! Sabotage!

Well now that you brought up the Chinese rover...

Great video. Would have been better if the narrator wasn’t Elmer Fudd’s grand daughter.

I’m very disappointed . . . the far side and no Opus!

Well, if there is a “dark side” of the moon, we need street lights there! And midnight basketball!

There you go! Send a ship to steal the Nazi’s blue Jade and they hammer your machine!

(If this were just a game you could pick those up, recharge your power, and get bonus points to buy a better ion drive or mega blaster!)

So does this mean the moon has now officially mooned us?

I heard they have a lake on the moon of ice and snow. A comet hit the moon and left the ice.
