Well, any location that will be developed in the future will certainly need hotels and convenience stores.

Shoot it down. The moon is ours and shame on them sticking a finger in our eye making launch on 50th anniversary.

Too late. Tricky Dick already gave it away.

How would today be different if they simply followed centuries of tradition when they planted the Flag and declared: “I claim Thee for The United States of America!”?

If you do that, you gotta stick around and repel all challengers.

Yep.
That means a real space race, and a real US presence there.
What are the implications of that, hmmm?

-—If the landing is successful, India will become the fourth nation to accomplish a controlled soft landing on the moon, after the former Soviet Union, the United States and China.-—
Ahem - that’s after the UNITED STATES, the former Soviet Union, and China.

We can’t, no US munitions that can do that. Also, we signed away rights to the moon in the 70s.
Also, if we wanted to keep the moon de facto ours, we should NEVER have stopped going there.

To: MichaelCorleone
The writer is correct, chronologically. The Soviets and Chinese have not landed men on the moon, but all nations listed have soft-landed probes on the moon.
Specifically:
Luna 9
Launched 31 Jan 1966
Landed on Moon 03 Feb 1966 at 18:44:52 UT
Latitude 7.08 N, Longitude 295.63 E - Oceanus Procellarum
Soviet Russia’s Luna 9 probe was the first soft landing on the moon and the first to send back images from the lunar surface. The US’ first soft landing would be Surveyor I on 2 June 1966, several months later.

Will they bring a tank of filthy dead carcass infested water to bath, brush their teeth, relieve themselves and pray in?
