They should have put a dish of fried rice and chow mein on the moon.

Yeah, but then two hours later you'd have to return to the Moon.

Was that bit in “The Martian” about the stranded astronaut being the first to grow crops on Mars thereby qualifying him as a colonist based on real law?

Perhaps that cotton seed sprout gave Chine legal ownership rights to the moon.

Thanks fieldmarshaldj. They would have been able to keep the lights on if the danged rover just burned gasoline. See next message.

After telling a joke, I once asked my old g/f to give me a rimshot. She gave me a black eye.

They need to produce bean sprouts for future explorers.
