OK. 243 Ida 1 (Dactyl) is mine. I like the shape of its orbit.
You know, anyone who gets to the moon and sets up housekeeping can claim sovereignty, and if I were them, it would be for the planet Luna, and not for any of the idiotic regimes here on earth. Keeping anyone else from landing would be trivially easy, which is why we shouldn’t let either the Chinese or the Russians do it first. But if Americans land there, they should cut ties with the United States (who alone among nations will do nothing to protest, as long as we create the term “Lunaphobe” soon enough). Wait, did I say “we”…?
