What can you add to the moon to make it lighter?

Hmm, how much mass would a manned mission have?

Maybe they wanted to announce it after a successful landing?

Treczoks@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

I would not rule it out.

China: "should we tell anyone that we crashed? No no, it was a secret payload that touched down!"
