There is no dark side of the moon. Matter of fact, its ALL dark.

If they see lights coming toward the rover, it will freak them out. Lol

I never believed the Dark Side of Oz synchronization story until I watched a few clips on YouTube. It is compelling.
While we're at it, at the very end of Strawberry Fields Forever, if you listen really closely, you can hear John Lennon saying "I wrote The Wall."

That would be hilarious.
Build a secret Rover, land it nearby and have it monster truck theirs.

I’m assuming an orbiter relays all data from the surface.

Oh and supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Absolutely brilliant comedy...and political science.

The sad reality is that though we did this first, half a century ago, we can't do it now. It'll take years and billions of dollars and - most importantly - the will to do so before we can put robotic devices or men on the moon again.
And quite frankly, the will may no longer be there - the cries of liberals insisting that every available penny be instead diverted to social welfare programs will make it impossible.

Tell them to let us know when they find some cheese.

I think the flag blew down when the astronauts left.

Most utterly American thing I could think of was to make a monster ruck lunar Rover for laughs.
Science?
Pfshaww.
We need hang time.

Uh, not true. We just successfully landed yet another robot vehicle on mars. We have done it repeatedly since the 70s and we are still the only nation to have successfully done so. All built by LM I should add. The only thing that keeps us from the moon is prioritization of resources. Technically its no different that the 60s.
