Moon has been there for ages and yet no one bothered to take it but when china calls dibs everyone is outraged?

Can't tell if you're serious, or just dumb.

My arts and crafts selÉction proves they can do it. It is a factual photo.

I'd argue the latter is probably, considering 'UAV drone' is analogous to saying 'submersible submarine'

The only good thing this could produce is another space race, which would defiantly be a great thing for science and space exploration in general.

You westerners certainly don't like it when us Asians progress now do ya? Isn't this kind of Xenophobia?

[QUOTE=Contag;32917855]Who cares if China claims the moon.
Why do you think the Apollo missions planted an American flag?
It is already claimed de facto by the US.

Claims don't matter anyhow, look at Antarctica.[/QUOTE]

If I remember correctly, the United States claimed it "for all of humanity".

[Guldfisk]

By putting an american flag on it?
Am I completely wrong if I claim that to be a false statement just to fool everyone?

No one country can claim any other terrestrial body outside earth, as this article states.

What if the US doesn't share? It's a two tipped sword.

Edit: Also shit some of the people in this thread act like patriotic idiots from the 60s.
