    I seen a full night moon last week. Anyway do you think the moon will look different when there is a million people living on it. I myself think it will mostly look the same unless you are looking at it through a telescope then it will be different but also think we-are a century or two from having a million people living on the moon. Still we really are lucky at how beautiful it looks in the sky now when we can see it.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Why would a million people live on it? I predict a Futurama-esque attitude towards the moon when we inevitably colonise outside Earth; it's just a big dumb rock. Like, people will live there, but why a million?

    I hope everyone who starts a sentence with "So" gets sent to the moon.

    If we had free trade instead of EU protectionism even the poorest could afford a decent telescope. Sadly Germany must have their industry protected.

    I should get the sole license to sell alcohol and golf on the moon.

    It won't be colonising humans that change the look of the moon; the real danger is the inevitable mice that travel with them.

    I caught an inevitable mouse the other day. Huge it was.

    Much bigger than the evitable ones.

    Evitable is a real word, one which belongs to a group known as the Lost Positives. Other examples, and there are probably hundreds Ept (Inept), Shevelled (Dishevelled), Kempt (Unkempt), Ruth (Ruthless). The negatives senses of these words have remained in common usage, whereas the positives have gone out of fashion.
