• It's not green, though.
• While we're here, let me dump a few of my bookmarky links. Researchers have identified what may be the perfect place for a Moon base, a crater rim near the lunar north pole that's in near-constant sunlight yet not far from suspected stores of water ice. The Lunar Navigator Interactive Map Of The Moon. Also, I want a pony.
• That's a very cool map, Chy. Thanks for sharing your home world with us, you little green freak.
• "Nanu nanu" - or whateverthefuck you people say to one another.
• No, it's "yup yup yup yup, uh-huh, uh-huh"
• Galleo! Hoop-hoop!!
• I always knew the moon was made of cheese! Now google confirms it!
• get a piece of the green cheese pie
• How much longer until Google becomes self-aware and exterminates us?
• Heh. You'll know it's getting close when you attempt a Google search and the results page simply says: "I can't do that, Dave
• I was a little confused when I panned left a little ways and came right back upon the Apollo landing sites again.
• I have it on good authority that this was in fact knocked up by photoing crumpled tinfoil out in the Google back lot.
• Couldn't find the screaming monolith, though. Maybe it's still classified.
• I read that as mongolith. Shame on me.
• That made me laugh. Not green, after all. Well, a light or golden coloured cheese would make more sense.
• How much longer until Google becomes self-aware and exterminates us? Good question! Hmm ...
• Google moon, you saw me standing alone... Almost as we sing at the Alex
• Google Moon ooof Kehntucky, keep on' shinin' . . .
• Why were all the lunar landings in the same general area?
• Why were all the lunar landings in the same general area? There's a lox station there...the only one for miles.
• There's a certain element there we'd rather not mingle with. We're currently focused on gentrifying the Sea of Tranquility.
• hahaha
• *stands up, throws arms wide, begins screeching MOOOOOOOOOON RIIIIIIIVER WIDER THAN A MILE I'M CROSSSSSSSSSING YOU IN STYLE SOME DAY AAAAA AAAAAAA AYYYYYYY
• Yes, nice post, Chy (Quid, now you've done it! Everytime I see his name, I'm going to think "you little green freak.")
• Yeah, nice post Chy, you little green freak...
• I was going to make a "Moon, you sweet bitch, you ruined me for anyone else" joke, but the SNL moon sketch seems to be really obscure, according to the Google.
• Don't forget to buy your piece... they're going quickly!
• We like the mooooon! 'Cause it is close to us. (unfortunately, the video seems to be gone) :(
• Here it is, mmmuttly.
• hee hee...that is one cheesy picture (sorry, couldn't resist) as for why the landings are in the same general area...avoiding the mountainous highlands, mostly...seen as too risky... as for the equatorial placement...a main safety feature of the apollo missions (designed by Werner Von Braun, i believe) was the free return trip...if anything were to go wrong on the flight there (as indeed happened on apollo 13) the flight path was oriented so that the moon's gravity would swing the ship around it and toss it back at the earth...this is much trickier (if not impossible) if the ship is being sent into a high-inclination or polar orbit of the moon (necessary for high latitude landings) all the landing sites are also on the front of the moon so as to stay in constant radio contact with the earth...
• Thanks for the answer sexyrobot.
• The MOON HAS NO FRONT YOU ARE EDUCATED STUPID
• The moon's gravity isn't affected by it's spin. The same size circle around the moon can be made from any point on the moon, and a gravity slingshot can be made that passes over any single point desired. The equator does not need to be a destination to use a gravity slingshot. The equator is a useful place to launch from because the spin of the planet can be used to add some speed to the vehicle. You can't get this slingshot from a polar landing.
• Chyren: of course it does, don't be silly. That's why we can see the face of the man in the moon. If we could see it's back, it would look like this (|) Com'er and let me show you the full moon. *reaches for buckle*

• Show me, BH- I'm Canajun and have to find a spouse.
• Yet another thread rapidly deteriorating into buggery.
• Beg your pardon? I merely wanted to admire her trot.
• Oh, for Pete Best's sake! Do I have to explain everything? Sheesh.
• I'd rather have a full thread in front of me than a thread full of sodomy.
• I'd rather have a thread full of sodomy.
• another thread rapidly deteriorating into buggery. The odd threads are the ones NOT going into double-entendres and such...
• There are double-entendres in these threads? *blinks* BlueHorse moon, in full
• O mooooon of Alabaaaaaama We now must say goodbye We've mooned our dear ol' GramMa And must have cockpunch Oh, you know why.
• O, are we all sodomites?
• No, we're all lunatics.
• MonkeyFilter: O, are we all sodomites? MonkeyFilter: It's not green, though. MonkeyFilter: Shame on me. MonkeyFilter: We're all lunatics. MonkeyFilter: "Nanu nanu" - or whateverthefuck you people say to one another." "No, it's "yup yup yup yup, uh-huh, uh-huh" MonkeyFilter: Yet another thread rapidly deteriorating into buggery. Now, the following we have Plegmund to thank for. (And because of that, he's going straight to hell.) MonkeyFilter: Chy. Thanks for sharing your home world with us, you little green freak. Of all people, Chyren is the first to be immortalized in a tagline. FucK.
• Bug your pardon?
