"Kaguya is named after Kaguya-hime, a moon princess in a well-known Japanese folktale, and is carrying names and messages from people on Earth as part of JAXA's "Wish Upon the Moon" campaign."

Because you never know if a moon person will stumble upon the Japanese spaceship or perhaps a Kryptonian Jamal loyalist guardian keeping an eye on superman is camping out there on the dark side just out of sight of earthly telescopes.

Japan's Kaguya lunar orbiter is prepared for its September 2007 launch toward the moon. The probe's two, round subsatellites (at right) can be seen in this top-down view. Credit: JAXA.

It’s not just any space ship. It’s the Yamato.
